1. Group/experiment name: Nadia Ahmedin, Vivian Zha, and Nasimiyu Mugasai
2. Scientific name(s) of fish(es): Carassius auratus
3. Scientific name(s) of plant(s): Coriandrum sativum and Ocimum basilicum
4. Growing Media: Hydroton
5. Supports for lights and/or grow beds: The light was hung with rope/pulley system from a wooden plank. No grow beds were used, instead net pots floating in Styrofoam support all plants.
6. Producers: basil (Ocimum basilicum) and cilantro (Coriandrum sativum)
7. Consumers: goldfish (Carassius auratus)
8. Light source (with wavelength and intensity): Ultraviolet LED Light 400 nm. High intensity (1000 lumens)
9. Water flow system/apparatus: Our apparatus is a deep water aquaponic unit with floating net pots. The experiment also includes an air pump with attached air stone.
10. Miscellaneous (other labels pertinent to your experiment): Fish Tank, lava rock
11. Weekly observations: Fish seem less agitated than last week, possibly from decreased ammonia levels. The group’s broken air pump and multiple days out of school may cause a decline in the fish’s health.
