Should you use PVC or polytubing in aquaponics?
1 like•203 views
In aquaponics, polytubing is recommended over PVC due to its superior durability, UV resistance, flexibility, and lower maintenance requirements. Polytubing can be heated and bent without the need for elbows, making it easier to use in systems. For further information on aquaponic design, resources are available at upstartuniversity.net.
