Kickstart Your Fishless Cycling Journey Starting an aquarium is more than just adding water and fish—it’s about building a balanced ecosystem. The stars of the show? Nitrifying bacteria, your tank’s hidden champions. They turn harmful ammonia from fish waste into less toxic compounds. If you're new to this, fishless cycling is a game-changer. By adding bacteria and ammonia before introducing fish, you give your tank a head start. Even if you mess up, a simple water change gets you back on track. It’s the easiest way to create a healthy and thriving home for your fish. Share this video if you found these aquarium setup tips helpful! #AquariumSetup #FishlessCycling #NitrifyingBacteria

🌿 Aquaponics Tip #3: Be Patient! 🌿 Patience is key in aquaponics. Many people rush to get their system "growing heaps" without understanding how it works. Remember, it’s an ecosystem that needs to find its balance, especially for the bacteria to colonise—this process is called cycling. 🌱🐟 Cycling is often missed or rushed, but it’s all about nature taking its course. Use this time to learn about your system’s flow, pH changes, and develop your routine. Nothing is wasted unless you give up. ✨ Want to dive deeper into aquaponics?

I am happy to share our newest article: “Wet-dry cycling influences the formation of mineral-associated organic matter and its sensitivity to simulated root exudates”. Lead by the amazing Andrea Jilling, in collaboration with Noah Sokol, and Stuart Grandy. In this study, we explored how wet-dry cycles affect the formation and stability of mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM). Our findings show that while wet-dry cycles promote the formation of new MAOM, this also challenge the stability of pre-existing MAOM, ultimately affecting the capacity of storing carbon in more persistent forms.

### 6. **Organic Matter Contribution** - **Nutrient Cycling**: As organic mulch decomposes, it adds organic matter to the soil, which increases its water-holding capacity and enhances overall soil health. - **Microbial Activity Support**: The presence of organic mulch supports beneficial microbial activity, which contributes to improved soil structure and nutrient cycling, further promoting moisture retention.

Is My Aquaponics System Cycled? How to know when your aquaponics system is 'cycled', when it is colonised enough with bacteria. Knowing when you can add fish into your aquaponics system is the most important part of cycling your system. Cycling is colonising your aquaponics system with nitrifying bacteria that is within nature, and it can take a few weeks to a few months depending on the climate. How do you know when you are done? A lot of people mess this part up ~ so make sure you get it 😊 https://lnkd.in/grW4em7c

https://lnkd.in/deRg2-Hp Marine sustainable innovation = FUN 1. Eco-friendly power options: Marine sustainable innovation often focuses on developing alternative power options for boats, such as electric motors or hybrid systems. These technologies not only reduce the reliance on fossil fuels but also provide a quieter and smoother ride, enhancing the overall boating experience. 2. Advanced navigation and safety features: Sustainable innovations in the marine industry have led to the development of advanced navigation systems and safety features. These technologies can make boating safer and more enjoyable, with features like real-time weather updates, collision avoidance systems, and improved emergency response capabilities. 3. Sustainable water sports equipment: With the increasing popularity of water sports, marine sustainable innovation has also extended to developing eco-friendly water sports equipment. For example, companies are now producing paddleboards and surfboards made from recycled materials or using sustainable manufacturing processes, promoting a greener and more enjoyable experience for water sports enthusiasts. 4. Marine wildlife experiences: Sustainable innovations in boating have also allowed for unique wildlife experiences. For instance, some boats are designed with glass-bottom floors or underwater viewing areas, which enable passengers to observe marine life without disturbing their natural habitats. This not only provides a fun and educational experience but also fosters a deeper connection with the marine environment. 5. Sustainable fishing practices: Sustainable innovations in boating also focus on promoting responsible and sustainable fishing practices. For example, some boats may be equipped with fish finders and underwater cameras that can detect and track fish in a more targeted manner, minimizing wasted catch and reducing the impact on marine ecosystems. This enables anglers to enjoy fishing responsibly and sustainably, while still having fun and catching fish. Overall, marine sustainable innovation can bring fun to boating by enhancing the boating experience, promoting responsible practices, and providing unique opportunities for wildlife observation and water sports.

Seawater intrusion effects on nitrogen cycling in the regulated Nakdong River Estuary, South Korea - Frontiers in Marine Science: Research on the impact of seawater intrusion on nitrogen (N) cycling in coastal estuarine ecosystems is crucial; however, there is still a lack of relevant research conducted under in-situ field conditions. The effects of elevated salinity on N cycling processes and microbiomes were examined in situ seawater intrusion experiments conducted from 2019 to 2021 in the Nakdong River Estuary (South Korea), where an estuarine dam regulates tidal hydrodynamics. After the opening of the Nakdong Estuary Dam (seawater intrusion event), the density difference between seawater and freshwater resulted in varying degrees of seawater trapping at topographically deep stations. Bottom-water oxygen conditions had been altered in normoxia, hypoxia, and weak hypoxia due to the different degrees of seawater trapping in 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively. Denitrification mostly dominated the nitrate (NO3-) reduction process, except in 2020 after seawater intrusion. However, denitrification rates decreased because of reduced coupled nitrification after seawater intrusion due to the dissolved oxygen limitation in 2020. Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) rates immediately increased after seawater intrusion in 2020, replacing denitrification as the dominant pathway in the NO3- reduction process. The enhanced DNRA rate was mainly due to the abundant organic matter associated with seawater invasion and more reducing environment (maybe sulfide enhancement effects) under high seawater-trapping conditions. Denitrification increased in 2021 after seawater intrusion during weak hypoxia; however, DNRA did not change. Small seawater intrusion in 2019 caused no seawater trapping and overall normoxic condition, though a slight shift from denitrification to DNRA was observed. Metagenomic analysis revealed a decrease in overall denitrification-associated genes in response to seawater intrusion in 2019 and 2020, while DNRA-associated gene abundance increased. In 2021 after seawater intrusion, microbial gene abundance associated with denitrification increased, while that of DNRA did not change significantly. These changes in gene abundance align mostly with alterations in nitrogen transformation rates. In summary, ecological change effects in N cycling after the dam opening (N retention or release, that is, eutrophication deterioration or mitigation) depend on the degree of seawater intrusion and the underlying freshwater conditions, which constitute the extent of seawater-trapping. https://lnkd.in/e7kzGBqS
