I have done this Fact and Question blog to inspire you to unpack my simple answer of yes or no, true or not true.

I am hoping that when continue to do research on the very short answers you will discover why that was my answer.

There is so much information to search through, but I would encourage you to search my question and try not to go down the Aquaponics rabbit hole because you will get lost and confused .

Also in doing research on question and answers, it will lead you into really understanding Aquaponics and the mechanics of the system.

This will help you really design a system based on your discoveries and what you believe is correct way for you to build and operate your system.
