Red Cedar 50 Gallon Aquaponic Raised Planter

  

This is a large aquaponic unit that is designed for greenhouse, garage, and outdoor use. The frame is handmade out of cedar and treated to prevent water damage. The system is on 6 casters and can be easily moved by one person on a smooth and level surface. This is a large rig that is well suited for growing large crops on a patio or deck.

A great addition to any urban or backyard farm. Note: tank is not included. We believe the best way to learn aquaponics is to do it yourself.

There are countless of aquaponic training courses that offer a weekend of on site tours or 8 weeks of online videos for upwards of a thousand dollars. While this can be a great for the potential commercial farmer, we believe in a learn as you do method where we connect you to expert growers for help and support as you run a small aquaponic system from the comfort of your home. This unit will come with a detailed instructions manual to walk you through the process of how to grow your fresh produce aquaponically. The manual will include startup, maintenance, and troubleshooting instructions. Method: siphon, period: approx 15-20 min. Media: granite gravel and expanded clay mix. Grow bed: 24 inches by 34 inches. Plants supported: 12-18 herbs/greens or 6-8 fruiting plants.

Internal storage shelf for nutrients and fish food. Aquaponic beginner guide manual included. We use locally-obtained moisture resistant cedar for our material, the colors of the build may vary from build to build, but the craftsmanship and quality is the same.

All of our systems are effectively biologically cycled and inoculated to support plants and fish. Though the systems are made to order we include pre-inoculated media to accelerate the startup process. Aquaponics is a tool, a method for nitrogen fertilization.

Do not expect the practical use of aquaponic systems to be entirely maintenance free. Monitoring of pests, nutrition, and ph balance are still critical.
