🐟 Aquaponics: Fish-Plant Nitrogen Cycle Simulator

Run a closed-loop aquaponics system: fish produce ammonia, a biofilter's bacteria nitrify it into nitrite then nitrate, and plants absorb the nitrate while cleaned water recirculates back to the fish tank. Tune feed rate, biofilter maturity, plant density and pump flow and watch the nitrogen cycle, fish health and plant growth respond live.

ControlsFeed rate slider controls how much ammonia fish waste adds to the water; a Feed now button gives a one-off ammonia pulse; biofilter bacteria-colony maturity slider sets nitrification speed (NH3->NO2->NO3); plant density slider sets how fast nitrate is absorbed by the grow bed; water flow rate slider sets pump/circulation speed and biofilter contact time.
