FAQ About Aquaponic Systems for Indoor Herbs

What is the typical startup time for an aquaponic system to stabilize?
Aquaponic systems generally take a few weeks to a couple of months to fully stabilize, depending on the initial setup and environmental conditions. During this time, beneficial bacteria must establish themselves in the biofilter to efficiently convert fish waste into nitrate, which the plants will use. It's crucial to monitor water parameters closely during this startup phase to avoid harming fish or plants.
