During a group project, we work on a problem encountered by a farm is aquaponics. We need to develop a solution to reduce the nitrate level of the water leaving the system (100mg/L to 50mg/L), while producing value-added biomass (plants, algae?) that can be sold.

So, we are looking for a plant or algae that strongly assimilates nitrate and that can bring a benefit to the aquaponics farm. Do you have ideas for innovative solutions? techniques to optimize space and growth?

For now, we were thinking of using microalgae, Nelumbo nucifera, cress or pak choi. Are they interesting for our mission ?
