Aquaponic farms bubble up in Clark County - The Columbian
Aquaponic farms bubble up in Clark County - The Columbian
These farms operate by creating a symbiotic relationship between fish and plants. It begins with a fish tank. Helpful bacteria in the tank turn ammonia from the fish waste into nitrites and then nitrates. The water is pumped from the tank into the area where the plants grow. Plant roots suck up the nitrates. The clean water then flows back into the fish tank to begin the cycle again.
