Biofilter and Aquaponics Expanded Clay Garden Balls
Lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) is made from 100% natural clay at average 1100-1200℃ in rotary kiln .The yielding gases expand the clay by thousands of small bubbles forming during heating producing a honeycomb structure. LECA has an approximately round or potato shape due to circular movement in the kiln, and is available in different sizes and densities.

What is Aquaponics?
Aquaponics, refers to any system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as snails,fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. In an aquaponic system, water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponic system where the by-products are broken down by Nitrifying bacteria into nitrates and nitrites, which are utilized by the plants as nutrients, and the water is then recirculated back to the aquaculture system.
What is Boifilter?
- In an aquaponics system, the bacteria responsible for the conversion of ammonia to usable nitrates for plants form a boifilter on all solid surfaces throughout the system that are in constant contact with the water.
- The submerged roots of the vegetables combined have a large surface area where many bacteria can accumulate. Together with the concentrations of ammonia and nitrites in the water, the surface area determines the speed with which nitrification takes place.Care for these bacterial colonies is important as to regulate the full assimilation of ammonia and nitrite .
