Practical Aquaponics and Integrated Aquaculture Technology
Murray Hallam is probably the best-known face in the world-wide Aquaponics movement. Murray is by nature an innovator and in his Research & Development facility has perfected many new methodologies for commercial farm Aquaponic systems.
At Practical Aquaponics, we have a range of information suitable for the novice to the expert. Browse our blog, register for our Aquaponics Courses, Workshops and Seminars or buy kits, books, DVDs and many other aquaponics necessities in our shop.
Proven and tested, there are hundreds of our kits in operation in every state of Australia and we have exported our kits to the USA, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Nassau. The wonderful thing about Aquaponics is that almost anyone can participate and get to grow some clean, healthy vegetables and fish.
Everything you could possibly need to set up an Aquaponics farm or home system is found in our online store. Whether you are looking to do Aquaponics in Brisbane, Perth, or anywhere in between, we’ve got you covered with the best range of products Australia-wide.
Our Aquaponics Photo Gallery is constantly growing to include images from Murray's Global Aquaponic Trips, Commercial and Home Systems, Greenhouse Tours, Master Classes and of course the all-important produce in the Practical Aquaponics section.
Our Blog contains a wealth of information spanning a wide range of Aquaponic topics, from general news to some of the well-kept secrets to success. This is a must view area for everyone interested in Aquaponics from the budding beginner to the seasoned aquaponics farmer.

The Toteponics System is a great system for small spaces or for people just starting out in aquaponics.
You end up with three media beds, with a total growing area of about 3 m-sq (32 sq-ft). As with any aquaponics media beds, you can grow a wide range of plants in this system - lettuce, kale, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumber, beans, peas, pumpkin... Just about anything you like! A great way to supplement your regular grocery shopping.
The fish tank can comfortably house about 20 kg (44 Lb) of fish, which is actually more than these beds would need. So, you can either carry fewer fish, or add some more beds! This system could easily be extended.
(Wondering why you'd need more beds if you have more fish? You need to make sure you have enough plants to absorb the nutrients produced by the bacteria breaking down the fish wastes. More fish = more waste = more nutrient in the system. If you have too few plants, you end up with unbalanced water chemistry, and problems! Similarly, you need to have enough fish to support the number of plants that you have. Too many plants with too few fish = undernourished plants. You need to balance the fish and the plants.)
To help you build this compact aquaponics system, we have put together this Toteponics Plumbing Parts Kit.
And of course the instructions! A thorough, step-by-step guide to building the system, with layout diagrams and pictures to help you along the way. These instructions make it easy to build this system, even if you've never built anything before. No special skills required. There are even some tips to help you get the best out of your system once it's up and running.
Save yourself the time and effort of running around getting the plumbing parts - we've done it for you!
Remember - this is a PIPE & FITTINGS kit ONLY.
What YOU need to provide to build the system:
See the Toteponics System page on our website for more information about the system.
Allow 14 days for dispatch from our workshop. (Yes, we make them here.)
If you prefer to get all these parts yourself, you can find the materials listed with the instructions in both Murray Hallam's Aquaponic Gardening Book of Plans and embedded in the film DIY Aquaponics + Aquaponics: the first 12 months (available as either DVD or streaming video).
