CourseGraphic Course Description

Though there is much still to learn about the microscopic ecosystem that is fundamental to every aquaponics system, we know a lot about the essential factors that can help us manage our systems for maximum stability and production. We will briefly review with you the history of microbiology and present to you the various microscopic life forms that make your aquaponics system their home. The functions that the microbiome plays in your aquaponics system is extremely important to the success of your plants and fish, and includes more than simply maintaining the function of the biofilter. The maintenance and monitoring of your system for several important parameters will allow you to maintain it and predict your growing success, as well as be on the lookout for some not so pleasant microbes that can wreak havoc on your plants, fish, or your system as a whole. We'll also explore the future of this area of study, which will dramatically alter existing aquaponics growing practices.
