Aquaponic systems involve the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics for gardening while eliminating the need for soil as a growth medium. The two exist in a symbiotic relationship with each other whereby the plants utilize the excretion by the fish as nutrients and purify the water for the fish. Indoor Aquaponic systems have now become very common and involve the growing of both fish and plants indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indoor Aquaponics have an advantage over outdoor Aquaponics as one is in control of the climate to meet the system’s needs. Managing factors such as temperature and pest control are made easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an ideal system for those that do not have enough land or the environment for farming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The location<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Have the place where you will set up your indoor aquaponic system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fish Tank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The fish tank is where all the fish within your system will reside. Use a fish tank made from non-toxic materials and one that is big enough for the requirements of the fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grow Bed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is where the plants will grow. The grow bed should be strong enough, made from non-toxic materials, and must be able to hold water adequately. It must be deep enough to sustain and enable proper growth of the plant roots. Choose the grow bed size according to the number of plants you will grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grow medium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It will supply oxygen, water, and nutrients to the plants and offer plant support. It is usually filled into the grow bed, holds the plants, and enables the roots to grow. The grow Medium should be porous for aeration and moisture retention. The growing medium can be;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
