An aquaponic system combines hydroponics with aquaculture where both plants and aquatic animals can survive together. Under this system, water from an aquaculture unit is fed to a hydroponic unit. In the hydroponic unit, nitrogen-fixing bacteria break byproducts into nitrites and nitrates that are further used as nutrients by plants. The same water is then circulated back to the aquaculture unit. Thus, the entire aquaponic system conserves natural resources. It is a nice way to be friendly to the environment. If you also love to keep a mini aquaponic garden in your home, then check out here some nice options for your tabletop.
