Creating A Small Aquaponics Tank
by Claudette Lambert
If one would want to know of a way where in he could keep healthy plants and sea creatures at the same time without having to tend to them every now and then, then he should consider trying to make a small aquaponics fish tank where in the plants can be fed with the waste water of the fish. For those who have never heard of this system, it is one where the environment is filled with water plants and animals. The best part is that it is so easy to make and can easily be done in the house.
Of course if one would want to create this kind of system, then he has to have a large fish tank where he can make it. Now to start the whole process, he must first take a small plant pot and put some pebbles or garden stones inside. From there, he must take a small plant and plant it inside the small pot.
Take note that the plant must always be higher than the fish tank because one must put the pot inside the fish tank. Because of the heaviness of the pot, one will not have to worry about the plant floating up in the water. However, the plant must still be higher so that a little bit of the plant will have some air.
Every plant pot will have a small hole at the bottom. Now in this hole, one must attach a small rubber tube and stick it with some super glue. One must always remember to let only a very small part of the tube seep to the inside of the pot so that the tube will not affect the plant in any way.
Once the tube has already been glued, then the next part would be to finally attach it to the water pump. The water pump is the star of this show because this is the device that will allow the plant to reproduce food. Basically, the waste water of the fish is pumped into the plant and the plant pumps clean water back into the tank.
When the setting up of the aquatic plant has been done, then one can now buy some animals. Probably the best thing to buy would be some fish because they are not very hard to handle. The only thing that one must remember would be to give them food regularly.
Of course once one has already finished making the system, he still has to make sure to do regular maintenance. The only difference in having an <A href="http://www.theaquaponicsource.com">aquaponics</A> tank as compared to a real fish tank would be that one would not need to clean it so much anymore. One just probably needs to clean the tank about once in a month.
So basically, if one would want to create some <A href="http://www.theaquaponicsource.com">aquaponics</A> fish tanks, then he should read this short guide on how to do it. Not only will one have healthier plants, but healthier sea creatures as well. Also, he does not need to really need to take care of the plants so much because the system will already be taking care of it.
