Aquaponics raises fish and plants in the same system, using a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics. Nutrient-rich water is pumped from the fish tank to a grow bed, where bacteria converts nitrite to nitrate, which plants can consume. Future plans include designing a new, larger system and possibly adding solar panels. Please visit the aquaponics website to learn more about the project.
