Task+3+example

﻿The Macquarie Tutorial Centre Aquaponics System  This is an example of how our system will look like once completed.




 * 1) Fish are fed in their tanks specially prepared food.
 * 2) Their waste and water goes into a clarifying tank so that the water starts becoming clean enough for the grow beds but still reatins important nutrients.
 * 3) The water goes into a mineralisation tank and minerals and added as it passes through.
 * 4) The water passes through the grow beds fertilising the plants.
 * 5) The waste water from grow beds is collected in a sump tank.
 * 6) The water is then pumped back into the fish tank.
 * 7) The process repeats.
