A backyard system is intended for those who are either only trying to grow food for one or two people, or who want to experiment with aquaponics either in a learning environment, or to see if they want to develop a larger system. The smaller scale fish operation is best for those who want to grow ornamental fish, rather than fish for harvest, though a small scale graduated fish harvest is possible. The base system is designed to fit in a 12' x 16' greenhouse, and the basic package includes...

280 gallon fish tank

combo solids and bio filter

starter console

3 grow beds

basic heating system

Air pump

Water pumps

All necessary plumbing, fitting and parts

Installation manual

Operater manual

Lifetime access to FishLife service

Access to Growers Supporting Growers forum

Access to marketing assistance

These elements can be adjusted or modified for your particular needs. A greenhouse option is available with the package. If you'd like to explore your options more, you can go to the survey page, fill out the information, and we'll contact you with specific information. If you like the backyard system as you see it here, the ready-to-assembly (RTA) package can be ordered immediately from the web store.
