The document describes the setup and operation of an aquaponics facility in Chandigarh, India from August 2013 to December 2013. It details the construction of the fish tanks, media beds, deep water culture systems, and setting up the nitrogen cycle over these months. Various crops like lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, bok choy and beans were grown and optimized in deep water culture troughs and different media beds. There were initial losses of the fish batch but the system was improved over time, leading to successful harvests of vegetables by Christmas time.
