The Aqua Farm
- June 13, 2012
The Aqua Farms system uses aquaponics to create an entire farm in one small system. Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture( fish farming) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil). The fish feed the plants and the plants clean the water. This symbiotic relationship results in an incredibly efficient food growing method, input fish feed and get both fish and plants out! This organic farming method produces very healthy, fast growing plants that produce delicious food.
There are Five sizes of Aqua Farms 2 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft, 6 ft, and 8 ft. The 4 ft, 6 ft, and 8 ft systems are all capable of growing food fish for your table, however it is recommended that the 2 ft and 3 ft systems be stocked with smaller ornamental fish due to the smaller fish tank volume. The Aqua Farm can be made with almost any tile and wood finish of choice, though some may cost extra.
