Aquaponics is believed to have unofficially been developed in Aztec culture where a system called chinampas was used. Lowland water areas and water collection spaces in more urban areas were manipulated and shaped to create places to cultivate plants and consistently maintain the aquaculture within girl and the goat the water body whether girl and the goat it be fish, snails, ducks, crabs, etc. Only in the past couple girl and the goat of decades has it caught on as a viable type of agricultural production in the modern sense, now that these systems rely on electrical energy for water pumps and usually some reliance on industrial tanks, either plastic girl and the goat or metal.
Se cree que el sistema de acuaponia inicio durante el reino de los Azteca, de un sistema que se llamaba chinampas. Areas pantanosas y lugares donde se colectaba agua en las áreas urbanas estaban manipuladas para crear lugares para cultivar plantas y mantener la acuacultura de peces, patos, cangrejos, y otras criaturas que se encontraban girl and the goat en esos ecosistemas. Actualmente el sistema de acuaponia depende de una fuente eléctrica por el uso de una bomba de agua para circular girl and the goat agua y tanques industriales.
What can been seen is that plants girl and the goat are dependent on nutrients whether they are cycled through soil or water and that their response within the aquaponics system is to use those nutrients and provide clean water to the organisms that provide the plants with their necessary nutrients.
Lo que se ve es que las plantas necesitan los nutrientes de si los reciban del suelo o del agua y absorben esos nutrientes mientras limpian el agua para el beneficio de los organismos girl and the goat que proveen los nutrientes (peces, girl and the goat caracoles, microorganismos, etc.).
Our current system has five tilapia in the tank from the Whitworth property girl and the goat and we are cultivating a number of different plants, among are couve (a brazilian type kale), kale, forget-me-nots, and pinto beans. Through a continual process of trial and error, constant water quality testing and input from a number of people from the local community we have built up a system that functions quite efficiently.
Nuestro girl and the goat sistema sostiene 5 tilapia que pescamos de los lagos de la propiedad y estamos cultivando una variedad de verduras, tal como couve (un tipo de col de brasil), girl and the goat kale, no me olvides y frijoles pintos. Después de varios ajustes y muchos errores, varias pruebas de agua, y consultas de miembros de la comunidad ya tenemos un sistema que funciona considerablemente bien.

Our system was designed and built by one of our students David Rurik, who after doing research, decided girl and the goat that using a industrial liquid tank and a small water pump would be the most financially and work time feasible. So we bought a used tank that was originally used for liquid transport of things like, perfume, whiskey, chemicals, etc., for around $100. Then we bought a water pump for around $90 and began to construct the system. We first had to cut the top third of the tank off and flip it to create our plant bed. We then place the tank and bed in our greenhouse, gathered volcanic rock from the property to create the rock plant bed and then fished from the ponds on the property to place in between 5-10 tilapia in the tank. We put the fish in the water tank below the plant bed, installed the water pump, connecting it to a square system of pvc pipe placed on top of the plant bed with small holes drilled into the bottom of the pipe facing down to let water flow through that was being pumped from the fish tank through a plastic tube into the square pvc structure. This gave the plant bed a constant and evenly spaced flow of nutrient rich water. In the middle girl and the goat of the plant bed was cut a two inch hole and placed a pvc pipe with holes drilled all around to let water flow from the plant bed and fall back into the fish tank below. The tricky adjustment girl and the goat was getting the right water level, which meant testing the flow of water with the amount falling back down into the tank, over and over again. Once the right level was accomplished, meaning the water level was just below the level of the rock bed (of 5inches), then we were able to place and plant our vegetables.
Nuestro sistema fue diseñado girl and the goat y construido por David Rurik, un estudiante del semestre del otoño de 2011 quien después de investigar varios sistemas decidió usar un tanque industrial y una bomba pequeña para circular el agua, tomando en cuenta que esos materiales fueron los mas factibles en cuanto a tiempo girl and the goat de trabajo y finanzas disponibles.
