AQUAPONICS SYSTEM 

  Assalamualaikum and a very good day to everyone, today I wanna share to you guys a little bit knowledge about aquaponics system. So, Actually aquaponics system is a system that combine conventional aquaculture (aquatic animals such as crayfish, fish and prawns) with hydroponics ( cultivating plants in water ) in a symbiotic environment.

  Based on this system, my dad Effendy Halily innovated the system to farm lobsters. He even created his own system named CLAW system. It's an aquaponic system built using cabinets and pipes. Usually on the top of the system used for plantings called grow bed. Almost all kinds of veges and fruit can be planted there. Leca soil will be used as the grow bed's base and not just usual soil. This is because it gives more spaces for water to flow. If using usual soil, water will stuck and the grow bed will flood. As for the piping part, it must have ball valve for controlling water pressure in case the water from pump is too great. Before putting lobsters into the system, the system must be let running itself  for at least for 24 hours so that the ammonia contained in the water will be lessen. After that, it should be safe to put lobsters or other water creatures inside. This system is much easier as it does not need much spaces to set up. You can just build this system outside the house or at backyards. By the way, aquaponic system can also use to farm plants and water animals at the same time and also saves big spaces.
