2-1/2-Barrel Aquaponics System

More plants and fish in less space! Teach the fundamentals of a fast-growing agriculture opportunity with this simple, compact, and efficient design. This complete aquaponics system fits in about 6 sq. ft. of floor space but provides a lot of value. The top half-barrel is used both as a filtration system and a plant grow bed. With almost 5 sq. ft. of growing space you can plant and test a number of crops. The two connected barrels hold almost 100 gallons of water. Both barrels can hold fish, giving you the flexibility to separate sizes or species. This system will support 25 or more full-size tilapia. The system is self-contained and needs no direct plumbing connections. The only electrical needs are for a small water pump used to recirculate the water and also an air pump. A heater (not included, Z40531 sold separately) can also be used for warm-water fish. The system runs from a standard 120V outlet. Includes recycled food-grade barrels, pump, plumbing, and growing media for the grow bed. Allow extra delivery time.
