The systems
offered each use one of two methods of aquaponics - RAFT and
NFT. The raft system is a proven method of aquaponic growing
with a good output of fish and plants. NFT
aquaponics is not as commonly used as RAFT systems but it is
unique in that you can grow more plants with the same amount
of fish. So, if organic plant production is your goal,
the NFT system will provide the highest plant production per
gallon of fish tank. Keep in mind though, that
managing the water quality in NFT aquaponics is more
difficult than in RAFT aquaponics.
All of the
complete aquaponic packages are listed below in a system

Cost Guides
Prices subject to change.
All prices listed in US Dollars.
Cost is for the complete system as described. Cost
does not include optional equipment, freight, installation
or sales tax. Some materials, such as lumber, cement
blocks, lengths of PVC pipe need to be purchased locally.
Approximate
footprint* - This is the space needed for the system to
be set up, with extra space for working and moving around
(approximately 4' on each side).
Estimated
number of lettuce heads per year*
We have used lettuce as an example because it is commonly
grown in aquaponics. Most herb varieties such as
basil, chives and cilantro, can be grown using the same
plant spacing. Other crops, such as tomatoes, egg
plant, melons, beans, cucumbers, etc., can be grown using
the appropriate plant spacing. Estimated
pounds of fish is based on raising Nile Tilapia, under
optimum conditions.
High intensity
plant lights can increase lettuce production by up to 40%.
The cost and number of lights required are listed on each
system page in the optional equipment.
