If you're growing aquaponically and using a Deep Water Culture (DWC) system, this is not something to ignore! So, how important is biofiltration in aquaponic DWC systems specifically? Find out. Learn more in Upstart University course "Choosing Your Production Method" here: http://bit.ly/2croGyL

1. How important is it in Aquaponic DWC?
Biofiltration

2. Let’s put it this way…

3. VERY important!

4. You have to have a lot of
biofiltration in aquaponics.

5. All of that waste coming
from the fish consumes a
TON of oxygen.

6. Especially in the nitrification
process.

7. Remember...

8. Lots of ammonia or ammonium
enters the system from fish
production.

9. If we let that straight into
our DWC,

10. It will crash our oxygen.

11. That’s bad!

12. We must separate all of our waste-
processing from the actual plant
production.

13. That’s where biofiltration
comes in.

14. Biofiltration processes all of the
waste before passing it off to the
rest of the system.

15. It pull out solids, clarifies, and
oxidizes compounds before sending
the solution to the plants.

16. So, how important is
biofiltration in aquaponic
DWC?

17. Very important!
