Aquaponics Systems for your fish pond
Aquaponics Systems
The Fish Works has a range of aquaponics options suitable for most ponds.
In aquaponics, a grow bed has fish pond water circulated through it. This water provides nutrients and water for growing vegetables and herbs.
This is a perfect system, as the waste chemicals that the fish produce (ammonia) is converted to nitrates, which are in turn used up by the plants. This means cleaner healthier water for your fish, and healthy, fast-growing organic veggies! Bass, silver perch and murray cod are common aquaponics fish that can be raised in the system and eventually eaten. However, goldfish and koi ponds work equally well.
These Systems are relatively cheap to set up, use very little power, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit your requirements.
Check out a flood/drain system we have set up this winter! not bad for a couple of months growth!
We have a different philosophy to many of the other aquaponics specialists. Instead of raising fish in an often dark, bare and overstocked “holding tank” , we recommend natural or formal fish ponds, that are both aesthetically pleasing, and humane….
Aquaponics fish, whether raised for human consumption or as pets, still need to have a good quality of life in order to be healthy.
We intend to promote this form of aquaponics to this emerging market and skip the whole “battery fish” scenario.
Youtube has a wealth of aquaponics information for those keen on setting up their own systems. We sell the ponds, fish, pumps, filters and expanded clay grow media. All you need is the veggies!
If you would like us to convert your existing koi pond into an aquaponics system, please let us know!
