Aquaponics is technique that blends growing fish and vegetables This closed-loop system is highly efficient, yields more food than traditional farming and has no waste. Aquaponics is super sustainable and highly efficient because of the healthy symbiotic relationships that the plants, fish and nitrogen-fixing bacteria have with one another. As fish excrete into the water, the water is then pumped up to the plant beds. Here the bacteria help break down the fish excrement so the plants can absorb it. The water is naturally cleaned and returned to the fish tank. As a result, plants typically grow in half the time and a jam packed with nutrients that out perform most organic farms.

Hydroponics is the process of growing plants in a soilless medium where nutrients are added to the water for the plants to absorb. Over time, the water quality will decline and will require it to be discharged. If the water is not properly disposed of, potential contamination of streams and other water sources can occur.Aquaponics incorporates fish to provide the natural fertilizers and nutrients plants need. This simple addition, eliminates the need to add "food" for plants. Best of all, aquaponics has a built in self cleaning and filtration system that returns clean water to the fish. The only water you will be adding is to replace what the plants take up and from evaporation. There is never a need to discharge your water.

In addition to having continuous access to fresh, healthy, organic and GMO - free produce, , you also have the added benefit of protein from fish.
Food grows in half the time of traditional farming and you can grow year round.

For Business systém it cost about 18 000 CZK per m2

For everybody it is very different. If you want it to do for fun or for healthy fruit and vegetables or you want to build your own business about aquaponic system.
