FAQ About Indoor Aquaponics for Integrated Systems

In an integrated indoor aquaponic system, fish are raised in tanks and their waste, rich in ammonia, is converted by beneficial bacteria into nitrates, which are nutrients for plants. Plants are grown in a soilless medium, usually in grow beds placed above the fish tanks. As water circulates through the system, plants absorb the nutrients, effectively filtering the water which is then cycled back to the fish tanks. This continuous loop ensures a balanced ecosystem for both plant and aquatic life.
