Hydroponics VS Aquaponics.. Here's Which Ones REALLY Better! 

Aquaponics can be considered morr Organic (as long as no synthetic chemicals is used), however most hydroponics systems use synthetic chemicals (there is organic ways to do hydroponics just real expensive). So, if you want to get your organic certification, aquaponics will be the cheapest and easiest route. The video also didn't talk about breeding and selling your fish, this is another avenue of revenue! Some use koi or goldfish to sell for ponds or feeder fish, others use different food type fish, catfish, trout, tilapia, freshwater shrimp and even crawfish. There are a lot of different ways to approach this. First, find what your state requires for you to start a business like this, most require business license and several types of insurance. Trust me, pay the money for the different insurances, it will save you a lot later if something happens. Start out at farmer's markets and build clientele, then work up to people coming to pick their own food, then restaurants and small stores. In the long run, you can easily build a nice business and following.

Thank you for the info. My sister is doing Hydroponics and I'm doing Aquaponics. I feel like hers is easier but because of this info., now I feel like Aquaponics is better. Thanks!

This entire script is largely ripped from a Sensorex article titled "Aquaponics vs Hydroponics: Which One Is Best For You?" Specific words are changed, but the sentence structure and facts are almost entirely the same. The very least you could do is credit them

I can leave my aquaponics/ Dec/ hybrid nft system for 3 weeks with the Mrs feeding only and I expect she is only removing solids from the radial flow settler once a week. My system is very stable with the addition of domolite rocks and I have never lost fish. The only additions I make is a teaspoon of iron once a month and the odd splash of seasol. I'm away from home 50% of the year.

Thank you for this one Really Informative 🤗

Amazing and inspiring

Well-Done

if you want to have fresh fish to eat aquaponics is better...the plant material is just a by product bonus.

Aquaponics also tastes better, as the plants have a broader range of trace elements in the nutrient solution, hydro just has 10-15 elements tops and produces flavourless produce, especially fruiting plants like tomatoes and peppers…. -Although aquaponics takes more skill to pull off.

Can I use aquaponics for tomato farming ?

So…. Basically…. Aquaponics is more Instagramable.

🤔 I guess it really depends o what you want out of it. It’s not really comparing apples to apples comparing the two.

It's really hard to take stated facts from a person who constantly says "fishes" while presenting scientific information. Very biased video indeed as well. The beauty of aquaponics is the closed eco system it creates when using the right kind of fish, but this also puts the entire crop at risk from a single disease or water quality issue and the restart time of 3 months if it needs to be drained is a huge risk factor. If your dependent on your farming for food I would use Hydroponics for the plants and a separate bio-filtered Aquaculture setup to protect against an entire food chain break down. Hydroponics can easily be compartmentalized into sections to protect against an entire crop loss quite easily and a family can buy enough nutrients to grow 10 years of food for $1000 dollars (if mixing your own solution) and store it away for added security. I love the organic play used to pump aqua over hydro but the reality is nitrogen is nitrogen and the ancestry of molecule doesn't give it it's safety profile. Using part of your hydroponics to grow the fish food for a separate aquaculture setup is far safer and easier to control.

If you are fortunate to have a body of water, in Texas we call it a tank, which has fish and other wildlife, could the water be circulated though a hydroponic system to serve as a nutrient base?

hi, from philippines can you suggest how to do small scale aquaponics and its cost?

A commercial every 15-30 seconds? Count me out.

I tried a hydroponics.tomato from Tesco OMG. Rock hard and absolutely tasteless.

is fish poop enough for the nutrients of plants?

Some of the data r not even that reliable...lol 😂

I like hydro. It's straightforward and forgiving on my absent minded behavior. Only need to worry about an air pump and nothing else.

Heavily biased towards aquaponics

Aeroponics is best

Kratky.

More CO2 would be a better environment than high O2

Yeah and nah... I have been weighing up switching to aquaponics for a while just sue to the cost increases of the hydroponics nutrients, but so far I can't find any benefit. hydroponics: monthly nutrient change (if required) check and adjust weekly one pump cheap (but cost is increasing) very productive 90% of my system can handle power outage for 2-3 days Aquaponics: Daily check and feed - mandatory still need to add additional nutrients requires constant power (1 day without power the fish are dead) any disease or illness in the fish, the whole system is out, potentially for months extra hardware required more expensive overall more fragile similar productivity requires more room someone tell me a benefit to switching over, please.

you keep suggestiing that plants breath O2 .plants breath CO2

Seems pretty biased to aquaponics, just saying

look away

Next time, please know how not wasting people's time. Thank you!

That voice.... I had to stop.

Wtf 😂
