Aquaponics. Grow vegetables with a gravel grow bed and a bell siphon valve. I'm growing lettuce with a 10 gallon tropical tank. Grow bed is 1'x1'x2' filled with 3/4" river gravel. Also about a 10 gallon pot for a sump. The chop 2 system. Basic carpentry skill to build the grow bed and plastic pond liner. Plumbing skill to route the water and build the siphon. Hardest part for me was making the bulkheads.

@KETIMENE It removes the last stage of the nitrogen cycle, nitrates.

@KETIMENE and as I have also recently learned it helps to remove ammonia and nitrites which are even more harmful for the fish.
