FAQ About Integrating Indoor Plants with Vertical Aquaponics Systems

What is the role of beneficial bacteria in aquaponics systems?

Beneficial bacteria play a crucial role in aquaponics systems by converting fish waste into nutrients that plants can use. They transform ammonia from fish waste into nitrites and then into nitrates, which plants absorb. This process, known as nitrification, is essential for maintaining a healthy ecosystem in the system.
