How To Make An Aquaponics System At Home

By Claudette Lambert


If one is into growing plants that are bound to be strong an healthy, then he might want to try to put some plants in the water in a certain way because this will be able to help the plant not only become healthier, but stronger and more vibrant as well. Now for it to be possible to do this, one must know how to create a good homemade aquaponics system that can do these tasks. Of course if one is interested in this kind of thing, then he must do some of the following steps.

Of course if one would want to create this kind of system, then he has to have a large fish tank where he can make it. Now to start the whole process, he must first take a small plant pot and put some pebbles or garden stones inside. From there, he must take a small plant and plant it inside the small pot.

Take note that the plant must always be higher than the fish tank because one must put the pot inside the fish tank. Because of the heaviness of the pot, one will not have to worry about the plant floating up in the water. However, the plant must still be higher so that a little bit of the plant will have some air.

When one has already set up the pot, then he would need to connect it to the water pump. In order to do this, he must take a small tube and glue it to the hole. However, he must always remember to only let a small part of the tube go inside the pot.

Once the tube has already been glued, then the next part would be to finally attach it to the water pump. The water pump is the star of this show because this is the device that will allow the plant to reproduce food. Basically, the waste water of the fish is pumped into the plant and the plant pumps clean water back into the tank.

After that, one may now put some aquatic animals inside the tank. The easiest ones to take care of would obviously be fish because they are known to be extremely resilient creatures that know how to survive on their own. Just remember to feed them regularly so that the waste water can be absorbed by the plant.

Maintenance is also a very important part of the whole process. Of course one needs to the clean the system rarely in order to take out all the harmful germs and bacteria. Of course since the new system is installed, one does not need to clean as much already. The most that one would need to clean it is just once a month.

Now if one is really interested in creating an aquaponics system, then just follow these few steps. Of course one will have the liberty to choose how many plants he would want to put into the system. He does not even need to take care of them that much because of the system.
