Tagboard will be replaced with our reflections:

Before leaving the classroom to home,(tank was placed in classroom before exhabition) on seeing the wonderful decorated tank that effort was put in by many, we felt a great sense of achievement.
When we found the problem to the tank in the beginning and solved it, we really felt happy because we were able to identify the problem and overcome it, the feeling cannot be described by words. We felt that through this project, many had benifited alot from it. We worked hard on our team spirit and teamwork ; we were more understanding and willing to help. We think that other groups had also enjoyed the process of the whole project. Though other groups were not chosen for the exhibition, we believe that they were still proud of their works, because alot of effort were put in too. We must say that alot of us grew alot through this project. :D

Wecome to our blog! :D
This is where we write/record our Process, Reflections and Progress
Enjoy!

Click here if you want to know what is an aquaponics

Aquatic animal effluent (for example fish waste) accumulates in water as a by-product of keeping them in a closed system or tank (for example a recirculating aquaculture system). The effluent-rich water becomes high in plant nutrients but this is correspondingly toxic to the aquatic animal. Plants are grown in a way (for example a hydroponic system) that enables them to utilize the nutrient-rich water. The plants uptake the nutrients, reducing or eliminating the water's toxicity for the aquatic animal. The water, now clean, is returned to the aquatic animal environment and the cycle continues. Aquaponic systems do not discharge or exchange water. The systems rely on the natural relationship between the aquatic animals and the plants to maintain the environment. Water is only added to replace water loss from absorption by the plants or evaporation into the air. Aquaponic systems vary in size from small indoor units to large commercial units. They can use fresh or salt water depending on the type of aquatic animal and vegetation.
