ABOUT hydroponics

Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops using soilless farming techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics in vertically stacked layers. It often incorporates controlled-environment agriculture, which aims to optimise plant growth with nutrients, lighting and pH. Vertical farming is perfect for high density living areas or to save space.

Hydroponics is simply described as growing plants without soil. Hydroponics allows you to control more of the variables including pH levels, lighting and nutrients for optimal plant growth and produce yields. Water is the main method of delivering the nutrients to the plant’s roots, combined with growing media to help support the plant. Hydroponically grown plants dip their roots directly into nutrient-rich solutions, so plants get more of what they need much faster and easier. Hydroponic farming can be used in locations where soil conditions are too poor to support farming, or where space is limited. It can be done anytime and anywhere!

Copper – a treatment for many parasitic infections – must be monitored in an Aquaponics System. The copper level can drop too low for the treatment to be effective, or can increase to a point that is detrimental to fish health. Copper is likely even present in your tap water.

The API® COPPER TEST KIT allows you to easily and accurately monitor copper levels to maintain copper-based fish treatments at therapeutic levels for Aquaponics , and tests copper levels from 0 to 4 ppm. The kit measures both free and chelated copper, and is for use in fresh and saltwater aquariums, or with ponds.

Contains 90 test and includes 1 test bottle, easy-to-ready instructions, glass test tube and color chart.
