Aquaponics refers to a food production system that couples aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish, snails, or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) whereby the nutrient-rich aquaculture water is fed to the hydroponically grown plant, involving nitrifying bacteria for converting ammonia into nitrates.As existing hydroponic and aquaculture farming techniques form the basis for all aquaponic systems, the size, complexity, and types of foods grown in an aquaponic system can vary as much as any system found in either distinct farming discipline. You can probably build your own aquaponics garden with the tutorial of this book.Through this you'll learn: Benefits of Growing Your Own Fruit, Vegetables, Herbs, and Fish Using AquaponicsDifferent Aquaponic SystemsBest Plants to GrowHow to Choose Your FishCommon Mistakes in Aquaponics and How to Avoid ThemAdvanced Techniques - How to Level Up Your SystemMaximizing Your System
