FishPlant Family Unit Complete Kit

Raise fish and grow plants in the FishPlant enclosed ecosystem to eat or enjoy, the choice is yours. It is an ecologically-friendly method of producing nourishing, healthy food which is also educational and fun for you and the whole family.

How it works:

You feed the fish with healthy food and the fish produce waste which goes into the water. The waste water is pumped through a pebble plant bed that feeds the fish and the plants purify the water  which can then be recirculated so the fish get fresh oxygenated water. The beneficial waste water sits in the pebble bed feeding the beneficial bacteria, which in turn feeds the plants, allowing them to flourish and feed you and your family! The Plant Bed of the FishPlant system is based on the ‘Flood & Drain’ hydroponic technique. The ‘Flood’ bringing water and nutrients to the plant’s roots, the ‘Drain’ drawing fresh air (oxygen) into the root zone. It is ideal for growing your favourite herbs and salad crops. The design ensures constant water circulation and helps oxygenate the water for the fish.

The FishPlant Family Unit is a great way to get started with Aquaponics as it is large enough to provide for a couple or small family with plenty of fresh salad and stocking up to 3.5kg of fish, yet small enough to fit into a small garden, greenhouse or even indoors. Compact and easy to use, it is also ideal as a nursery system or a module in a larger setup. The low height of the system makes it very accessible and simple to operate and maintain.

The package includes everything necessary to setup and maintain the system including:

  • Fish tank 1300L
  • Flower Grow Bed 220L x 2
  • Clay pebbles
  • Tank cover
  • Autosyphon
  • The fish food (for young and older fish)
  • The fish care kit
  • Plant care kit
  • pH care kit
  • Full build instructions and an operation guide are also included.

All of which help you to foster the perfect environment for your fish and food. Because of the compact design, the fish tank and grow bed can be manoeuvred through normal doorways.

The FishPlant units operate on a ‘Flood and Drain’ system with an auto siphon which provides efficient, low maintenance operation. What species of fish can I farm? This depends on whether you intend to eat them or just keep them for pleasure. While the principle of Aquaponics is primarily to grow food, it may be that you prefer to grow ornamental fish, such as, Koi Carp or Goldfish and just eat the plant produce. If you want to farm edible varieties then, you can successfully and consistently farm Tilapia, Carp, Perch and (with practice) even Trout.
