The Engine that Runs the System

We often think an aquaponic system is pretty much like a hydroponic system 

but that is not the case. Fish are the engine that run an aquaponic system.

Fish give off the excretions that, when they break down, feed the plants.

The plant roots then clean the water before it is returned to the fish.

The fish also feed us. We harvest at least 5 pounds of fish each month.

Our white and golden Tilapia are fed a dry seafood based food

as well as a few lettuce leaves. They have a very light flavor that is

best when sauteed in olive oil and lemon.
