FAQ About Integrating Indoor Plants with Vertical Aquaponics Systems

How does nutrient cycling work in a vertical aquaponics system?

In a vertical aquaponics system, nutrient cycling begins with fish producing waste in the water. This waste, primarily ammonia, is converted by beneficial bacteria into nitrites and then into nitrates, which plants absorb as essential nutrients. This cycle reduces water waste and allows for sustainable plant and fish growth.
