Things to know about aquaponics
-Aquaculture is the symbiotic cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in a re-circulating system
-Aquaponics can enable the production of fresh vegetables and fish protein in arid regions and on water-limited farms, since it is a “water re-use” system.
-The basic concept of aquaculture is water recycling. Georgia southern can take that concept and turn it into recycling in general.

TYPES OF aquaponics
Aquaponics
There are indoor aquaporin systems that are pretty expensive to install.
If there is an association that wanted an aquarium or garden then they would need the following materials.
-Ten gallon aquarium
-Grow bed (plastic storage contain approx. 20” x 12” x 4-6” deep)
-Pump (40-60 gph) capacity
-Hose
-Stainless steel hose clamps
-T-fitting
-Growing medium (hydroton, gravel, perlite)
-Air pump/stone
-Drill
-3/8” bit for drainage holes
-1/16” to 3/32” bit for growing bed, tubing holes
-1/2”-1” bit for hose /tubing entry
-Flathead screwdriver
-Also they would need to purchase fish and plants. The cost of starting this project could run around $300.
