What is Aquaponic ?

Aquaponics is a food production system that combines Aquaculture (farming of aquatic organisms like fish) and Hydroponics (growing plants without soil). Aquatic by-product is broken down into nitrates and nitrites that serve as nutrients to the plants. An aquaponics system produces fish and other aquatic animals while growing various types of vegetables in a symbiotic environment.

A flood and drain or continuous flow system where water from the fish tank is pumped through containers filled with small rocks or clay pebbles and then circulated back to the fish tank. The flood and drain system typically consists of gravel while the continuous flow system uses clay pebbles. This system is often used in backyards.

Americover is the leader in specialty plastic sheeting for the aquaponics/hydroponics industry because we offer products that are organically certifiable, fish safe and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 (c) 3.2 compliant. Our aquaponics liners won’t leach chemicals, are durable, and last for years. The longevity of our liners minimizes the need to replace the liner as often which saves you time and money. Regular poly will deteriorate and can sometimes leach harmful toxins into your applications, so quality is important when it comes to applications for produce you plan to consume.
