Product Concept · Prototype Stage
Family Home System
A complete modular aquaponic system designed to feed a family of four all their leafy greens and occasionally fresh trout — combining fish tanks, grow beds, and vertical towers into one cohesive setup.
Seeking Funding for Production
Full-scale prototype in operation. Ready for component refinement, packaging design, and small-batch production for early adopters.
Product Vision
Complete Food Production at Home
The Family Home System is a complete aquaponic setup designed to produce meaningful quantities of food for a household. It combines a large fish tank capable of raising trout or tilapia, multiple grow beds for larger crops, and vertical towers for leafy greens — all working together in one integrated system.
Designed for garage, shed, conservatory, or greenhouse installation, this system is scaled to provide daily salads and weekly fish harvests for a family of four. It represents a genuine step toward household food sovereignty without requiring commercial greenhouse infrastructure.
The modular design allows users to start with core components and expand over time. All elements are designed to be visually cohesive, structurally sound, and maintainable by non-technical users with basic aquaponic knowledge.
System Components
Large Fish Tank
500-1000L capacity for raising trout, tilapia, or perch to eating size. Integrated filtration and viewing panels.
Multiple Grow Beds
Flood-and-drain media beds for larger plants like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and root vegetables.
Vertical Grow Towers
NFT towers for continuous leafy green production — lettuce, spinach, herbs, and microgreens.
Expected Production Capacity
Daily Leafy Green Production
Sufficient salad leaves for 4 people daily once system is mature (8-12 weeks from setup).
- • Continuous harvest of lettuce, spinach, kale
- • Weekly herb production (basil, mint, coriander)
- • Microgreens and sprouts on demand
Fish Harvest
One eating-size trout every 2-3 weeks once stocking is established (12-18 months from start).
- • Stagger fish stocking for continuous production
- • 250-350g portion-size fish
- • Supplement with purchased fingerlings as needed
Key Features
