Welcome to aquaponic gardening and the fascinating marriage of hydroponics (growing plants without soil) and aquaculture (growing fish in captivity).. Fish are the power house of an aquaponics system, they provide the nutrients for the plants and if your growing edible fish, then they also provide protein for yourself.. Wiill you raise fish just to give nutrients to your plants? or will you be eating them? here are 7 aquaponics fish species that can be used for either..
To figure out the best aeration system for your system i would need to know more about it, like, is it just flood and drain media beds with a 275 gallon tote fish tank?. Attending a 2 day workshop with the father of aquaponic`s - dr james rakocy what a privilege. never think you know everything..
