FAQ About Aquaponics for Indoor Plants

What is the role of bacteria in an aquaponics system?
Bacteria play a crucial role in aquaponics systems by converting fish waste into nutrients that plants can absorb. This process, known as biofiltration, involves nitrifying bacteria that convert ammonia from fish waste into nitrites and then into nitrates, which are beneficial for plant growth. The presence of these bacteria is essential for maintaining a healthy and productive aquaponic system.
