Hi, glad to have found a forum about natures vitality in a simple form. Im taking a lot of time understanding the basic requirements to develop My own aquaponic system. I have the chance to beguin in a tropical country. Im about to buy a 4000 liter pool with pump. Im interested in making hydroponic towers above the fish tank. My actual question is : can the water go directly to the plants or does it need a "bacterial tank" in between ? Cheers.

Welcome Tropicaltopic
Yes it is always a good idea to have a place for biological activity. Media beds are the simplest form.

Welcome to the forum.

Best bet is to get yourself a copy of the FAO Small scale aquaponic food production
http://www.fao.org/in-action/globefish/ ... /c/338354/

it is a pretty good overview of various aspects of Aquaponics.


and lots of information in the the top banner of this web site as well.
(IBCofAquaponics plus the main page at http://www.backyardaquaponics.com/

the media beds are biofilters if you go down that path.
in that case in-between filters are not required.
But really depends on system and what fish & how many as to what filtration will be effective.
