This is where if folks could put in their own small family aquaponic garden systems they would always have organic healthy food.

Building a Tabletop Aquaponics System is easy AND economical with our Do-It-Yourself packages!
Why build a “Friendly” system? Because even if you buy a “kit” from someone, you STILL have to build the system. You have to install fittings in fish tanks, assemble grow beds, install pumps, air pumps, tubing, and airstones. Our 12 square foot Tabletop System costs $270 to build, or $22.50 per square foot of growbed area; our 48 square foot Tabletop System costs $510 to build, or $10.60 per square foot, INCLUDING the cost for our Tabletop System plans; you source most items locally.
Compare the cost of our systems to these well-advertised kit systems: lMurray Hallam’s 7.23 square foot Balcony System costs $970, or $134.16 per square foot of grow bed area; The Aquaponic Source’s 8.5 square foot Aquabundance system costs $1,295, or $152.35 per square foot; Aquaponics USA’s 7.5 square foot FFGS-M7.5 costs $1,094, or $145.86 per square foot, and these systems are 15-35% smaller than our 12 square foot Tabletop system (these prices do NOT include shipping, which usually adds from $150 to $500 to their cost). Our aquaponics system designs are the most cost-effective on the planet!
Build four different sizes of stable, durable, and productive indoor aquaponics systems that can be operated indoors OR outdoors, or even MOVED between indoors and outdoors, depending on the season. These affordable systems range from a counter top 3.5 square foot system which costs $85 for materials to one with 48 square feet in grow bed area that costs $460 for materials. Most materials are available locally; some items may need to come from suppliers whose contact information is given in the materials lists. In addition to the four standard sizes of systems in the manual we show you how to build small custom-designed aquaponics systems out of Igloo coolers, discarded refrigerators and freezers, plastic garbage cans and barrels, concrete mixing tubs, and other easily-procured items. Most importantly, we show you in complete detail how to OPERATE them successfully! This complete plans package is only $49.95!

Indoor Pico System
We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours, and built our first commercial aquaponics systems with FAR less information than this manual contains. This manual would have saved us over half of that money and time. We have included all the information learned from spending that money and time in this manual so you don’t have to make any of the same mistakes we did.
This package includes new and easy-to-understand building instructions and complete operating information for small aquaponic systems based on our years of experience operating a commercial aquaponics farm. Anyone can build a system out of plastic barrels, but operating one without good and easily-understood information can be frustrating. Operating information is given in the form of a “Daily Operations Manual” where you simply use the checklist and follow the step-by-step instructions on your way to success with aquaponics.
Indoors: These systems are appropriate for anyone who is limited to growing indoors, or for those who only have limited space outdoors. They are perfect for getting your fingers wet in aquaponics without spending a lot (pun intended!). They can easily be set up in an apartment or condo, on a balcony, inside a garage or outbuilding, inside a spare room, or even a closet. You can use them for the centerpiece of a living room or family room to show off to your friends. Best of all, they produce food! If you have light and heat you can grow vegetables and fish!
