Changing the growing mode: aquaponics - bioponics

🌐 🇫🇷 FR · 🇬🇧 EN · 🇩🇪 DE

You can switch cultivation methods between bioponics and aquaponics at any time.

If you have any questions, you can contact our agronomists to support you with this process.

1) From aquaponics to bioponics

It is easy to switch from aquaponics to bioponics.

You will first need to find a new home for your fish and remove them from your production system.

Then, follow our recommendations to start using soluble organic fertilizers and microorganisms.

2) From bioponics to aquaponics

Before considering this change, allow for a minimum period of 1 month between the last addition of Grow/Bloom organic fertilizers and the introduction of fish.

This water preparation period is mandatory to guarantee an environment suitable for fish without fertilizer residues.

STEP 1: Using a test strip, check the following parameters in the tank water:

• Presence of nitrates, nutrients for plants
• Absence of nitrites, compounds toxic to fish
• General hardness (GH) between 4 and 16 °d
• Carbonate hardness (KH) between 5 and 6 °d

Feel free to consult our page dedicated to cycling with the conditions for introducing fish.

STEP 2: Using the hub, make sure your pH remains stable between 6,5 and 6,8.

Feel free to consult our page dedicated to acidity management.

STEP 3: You can then add aquaponics supplements according to our recommendations for plant growth.
