If you are decided to set up an aquaponic system in
which to grow vegetables and fish for you and your family, there are some
things which you should know. The types of fish, the seeds which can be
propagated and the details about the appropriate water conditions are the basic
notions you have to know before venturing in this activity. Once you know that
you can start putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. Yet, another
question arises: where should you place your aquaponic mini-garden?
The answer is simple: you can put it anywhere you
like as long as the place has enough light to offer the plants. As you probably
know, the plants need light to prepare their food. If the place where they are
put has no or few light, they will be unable to prepare their food, which in
time will lead to their death. This is something you do not want! Yet, if you
have a room (no matter if it is your kitchen, living room or garage) where
there is a moderate light, then there is where you should place your aquaponic
garden.
If you live in an area with extreme temperature or
weather conditions, there are also some other things you will need to take into
consideration. First, the temperature: your fish like to have a moderate
temperature (usually varies according to the type of fish you choose), so you
should monitor it to meet your fish’s needs. If you are in a desert are a you
will need to keep them away from the direct solar rays, while if outside is
freezing you will need to make sure that the water is warm enough to provide
your fish a good environment.
You should also keep your fish and plants away from
chemicals as they are quite sensitive to that, so the room where you keep your
cleaning products will not be a great location for them. Rather go for airy
places where the plants can feel good and with moderate temperature so that the
fish will grow and develop properly.
