Anyone using Aquaponics?
I have a new set up for my grow, basically I am growing 1 plant, SOG, using CFL's, with aquaponics as my growing method.
The turtle/fish, poop, and that "dirty" water is pumped down into my rock reservoir, where bacteria collects on the rocks, and allows nitrates and other stuff to be produced. Then that water/nutrients gets siphoned out to my plant chamber, where there is a constant flow of new water coming in and going out.(the picture will explain more later) While in this chamber, the "dirty" water gets filtered by the plant, and gets siphoned out to another reservoir, where the clean water collects and waits to be pumped back out to the aquarium. Thus creating a cycle.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone uses this method. A plus is that it is all organic, and you wont ever have to buy nutrients.
Oh and a rough, computer drawn sketch of what it looks like, I can't upload my camera photo's at the moment.ADM Reviewed by ADM on . Anyone using Aquaponics?
