Fish waste treatment digestor and aquaponics system

An aquaponics system, comprising:

• a hydroponic system comprising one or more grow racks, each grow rack comprising:
• a plurality of columns, each column comprising a plurality of rows, a plurality of overflow tubes, each overflow tube interposed between each row of each column,
• each column and each row comprising a respective drain tube, each drain tube coupled to a trunk line that feeds into a sump tank, each drain tube comprising a one-way valve,
• a respective solenoid valve coupled to each trunk line to thereby actuate the one-way valve of each drain tube;
• and
• an aquaculture system, comprising:
• a fish tank,
• a digestor assembly coupled to the fish tank, the digestor assembly comprising:
• a skimmer tank situated above a digestor tank, the skimmer tank comprising a solids valve to release undissolved solids into the digestor tank,
• the digestor tank comprising an aeration stone coupled to an air pump, and a recycling pump configured to recycle the contents of the digestor tank,
• a conduit to feed water from the skimmer tank to a media bed, and a fill tank configured to receive water from the media bed, the fill tank comprising one or more rack pumps configured to pump water to the one or more grow racks, and a fish tank pump configured to feed water back to the fish tank.

A method of using an aquaponics system, comprising:

• coupling an aquaculture system to a hydroponic system, wherein the hydroponic system is configured to automatically cycle water therethrough using one or more solenoid valves, including the steps of:
• feeding water and fish waste from a fish tank to a digestor assembly, the digestor assembly comprising a skimmer tank and a digestor tank;
• using the skimmer tank to separate undissolved solids from the water;
• releasing the undissolved solids into the digestor tank, wherein the digestor tank is configured to churn the undissolved solids and create a soil amendment;
• feeding the water from the skimmer tank to a media bed for further filtering, wherein the water is siphoned into a fill tank;
• and
• providing the water from the fill tank to the hydroponic system and back to the fish tank.
