No. The decanting process separates the liquid from the solids, allowing every part to be put to good use.

The leftover seaweed (rehydrated granules) can be applied around gardens and fruit trees as a slow-release fertiliser or fed directly to livestock. The remaining fish solids make an excellent compost activator and can be added to compost or buried directly in the soil to enrich it.

The system itself is also designed to be simple and sustainable. Filters, filtration units, and battery-operated transfer pumps are supplied or recommended, allowing the entire process to operate off-grid without the need for mains power.
