Hibernation Sensation

School may be out for students at REMSS, but the aquaponics system must keep running! Typically, the only human intervention needed in an aquaponics is to feed the fish and, in the case of an indoor system, provide a light source. These two things were solved by our team today-- making the Mountain Aquaponics Club’s system fully self-renewable for the next two weeks’ holiday break. An auto-feeder has been installed onto the fish tank, programmed to feed the fish every 24 hours. As for the lighting, our library has some very convenient skylights positioned on either side of the room. We have placed the aquaponics system under one of them as to benefit from the natural light that comes through. Thus, our aquaponics system has gone from self-sustainable to ultra-self-sustainable for the holidays.
