Message: [QUOTE="Meyer Jordan, post: 310514, member: 7131"] Finish the statement: ....to maximize growth rates. Higher flow rate in Aquaponics is due to Fish being in the equation. This, and the previous quote, assumes that non-aquatic plants are being grown. This is not true in wetlands or Phyto-filters where aquatic plants are the only plants utilized. Since aquatic plants have the ability to transport Oxygen to the rhizosphere and create an aerobic cocoon (so to speak), they are not affected by the Oxygen level of the surrounding water. Not all aquatic plants only grow in full water submersion. And I fail to see the rationale that plants will survive due to a higher flow rate. A little documentation on this, please. [/QUOTE]
