Fish Can Work Day and Night
Even fish can work.  The amazing acts like eating and producing waste that fish do, is the perfect fertilizer for growing plants.  Aquaponics is just like a natural ecosystem. Aquaponics represents the relationship between water, aquatic life, bacteria, nutrient dynamics, and plants which grow together in  places like waterways  throughout the  world.  Exchanging the waste by-product from the fish as a food for the bacteria, to be converted into a perfect fertilizer for the plants, and then  to return the water in a clean and safe form to the fish is how these systems work creating tremendous yields.
