An Aquaponics system composed of a pump (A), fish tank (B), watering line (C), NFT troughs (D), water collection pipe (E), and fish (F). Fish and microbes in the fish tank generate effluent which is used as a nutrient source for the plants. The effluent water is pumped over the roots of the plants, which clean the water by removing metabolic byproducts that are toxic to the fish. The cleaned water is then returned to the fish tank.
