What is Aquaponic?
Aquaponics is a cooperation between plants and fish and the term originates from the two words aquaculture (the growing of fish in a closed environment) and hydroponics (the growing of plants usually in a soil-less environment).
Aquaponic systems come in various sizes from small indoor units to large commercial units.

Is aquaponics profitable in South Africa?
Aquaponics is the combination of fish farming and the growing of crops, such as herbs and vegetables. It could potentially be the solution to food scarcity and could generate income for new farmers in South Africa.
What removes nitrates from the aquarium?
Nitrate-adsorbing filter media and anaerobic denitrifying biofilters will remove dissolved nitrate, but they will do nothing to eliminate the cause of the problem.
The simplest solution is a water change. When you remove a volume of water from your aquarium, you remove all the nitrate in that volume.
What is the fastest way to lower nitrates in an aquarium?
What can we do to aid in the removal of nitrates from the aquarium?
Add live plants to a freshwater aquarium. Plants naturally utilize nitrate as a nutrient and food.
Reduce fish population or upgrade to a bigger tank.
Cut back on feeding.
Use a nitrate remover such as ALGONE.
