Pine Aquaponics System Flat Pack

This simple, stylish aquaponics system integrates two type of beds into one structure.  The lower level is filled with water, making a combined sump and raft bed, and the top section is a media bed.  A great combination of growing methods in one neat, attractive structure.

With a footprint of about 1.5 m x 2.5 m (about 5' x 8') (excluding fish tank), this is a neat little system for small spaces.

The Flat Pack does NOT include a fish tank.  You will need to provide this yourself.  One about 250-1000 L (about 66-260 US Gal) is ideal.  The plumbing and instructions are suitable for a variety of tanks; in our pictures (and in the instructions), we have used a 1000 L (260 G) IBC/tote-tank as the fish tank.  These are usually fairly easy and cheap to get second-hand.  Just make sure they haven't had any nasty chemicals in them.

The Flat Pack also does NOT include the grow media.  You will need to provide this, about 300 L (~1/3 cu-m) (~11 cu-ft).

Construction of this kit requires no special building experience.  If you can use a power drill and a hammer, you're well on your way!

Start growing some of your own food at home, with this compact aquaponics system.  Fresh, home-grown organic crops right from your own backyard.  Can't get much better than that!
