Small Aquaponics System

Introducing Aqua Gardening's Small Aquaponics System. This kit is very simple to setup. Just add water, fish, plants and connect to two 240V power outlets!

The water pump inside the fish tank pumps water up into the grow bed. The water floods the grow bed and waters the plants. The water then drains back into the fish tank. The pump is connected to a pre-programmed timer and the cycle repeats over and over automatically during the day. The water pump also aerates the fish tank via a fountain while it is in operation.

The Small Aquaponics System has a very low power consumption and only uses 22 Watts of power maximum (during the periods when the pump is operating). The Aquaponic grow bed uses a flood and drain cycle, so the pump only runs for around 10hrs per day.

Our suggestion is to start with 4 - 8 goldfish in the system. If you are experienced with Aquaponics you could start with 20 perch fingerlings and grow them for 2-4 months, before transferring them to a larger system. Our Small Aquaponics System ran for 3 years in the Enoggera Shop on display. During that time we grew 2 large crops of basil, tomatoes, chillies and Kang Kong (Water Spinach), just to name a few things. The Kang Kong produced great spinach leaves for 3 months.
