The pump drives the closed loop aquaponics system that takes nutrients from fish in a large water tank and delivers them to growing plants in the greenhouse which then filters the water and sends it back to the tank. Aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (growing plants in water) becomes aquaponics when combined.
