Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics. Essentially fish are raised to grow plants. The process begins with the fish. They produce ammonia which is can be converted into nutrients for plants by bacteria. The plants use these nutrients to grow and their root systems along with the bacteria filter the recycled water for the fish. With this process in mind I wanted to design a product that would allow users to grow their favorite plants, herbs, or vegetables around the house.
