 **Welcome to the Sandponics Wiki**
-The term **“Sandponics”** has recently been used on social media to describe systems where fish water is filtered through sand beds to grow vegetables.

-This system is **not** Sandponics (the original hydroponic technique from Japan).\\
-What people are actually showing in these videos is **iAVs** — the **Integrated Aqua-Vegeculture System**.
-**iAVs** was developed in the 1980s by Dr. Mark R. McMurtry and Dr. Merle Jensen at North Carolina State University. It uses **medium–coarse inert sand** as a biologically active substrate for filtration, nutrient cycling, and plant growth.
-This wiki explains the **components**, **operation**, and **history** of iAVs, along with practical information for building and running sand-based systems.
-If you want to learn how the system works and why it is effective, you’re in the right place.
