Alan Potter's Public Profile - ProductReview.com.au. Aquaponics Australia - Aquaponics Frequently Asked Questions. WHAT IS AQUAPONICS AND HOW DOES IT WORK? Aquaponics is a combination of Aquaculture & Hydroponics. Aquaponics uses the water from the fish tank to circulate through a grow bed where the plants are grown. Nitrifying bacteria convert fish wastes into plant-available nutrients. The plants use these nutrients as their main nutrient supply. IS AQUAPONICS ORGANIC? CAN THIS BE A HOBBY OR IS IT A COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY? Aquaponics systems vary in size with the smallest being an indoor fish tank with either fish you can eat or fish that you like to watch and not eat e.g. goldfish. Aquaponics systems used by the backyard grower can vary in size, sometimes taking up a corner of the backyard, and sometimes taking up the whole backyard.
The commercial industry of Aquaponics is growing in Australia, especially since the push towards using more sustainable ways of farming began, and coupled with the drought that much of Australia has been experiencing in the last decade. Media Based Deep Flow / Raft Water. Backyardaquaponics.com.
