Home River Tank
A modular aquaponic system designed for homes — integrating fish tank, NFT channels, and grow beds into a compact, aesthetically pleasing unit suitable for living spaces.
Seeking Funding for Next Stage
Initial prototypes built and tested. Now ready for refined manufacturing design, material testing, and small-batch production. Funding needed for injection moulding tooling, certification testing, and market validation.
Concept Vision
Bringing Aquaponics into the Home
The Home River Tank is designed to make aquaponics accessible, beautiful, and practical for domestic environments. It combines fish-keeping, ornamental plant growing, and food production in a single integrated unit.
The modular design allows users to configure their system based on available space — from a single fish display tank with NFT channels, to a full setup including grow beds and filtration components.
All components are designed to be visually cohesive, structurally sound, and easy to maintain by non-technical users. Water flows naturally through the system, requiring only a single pump and minimal intervention.

Real-World Components
Prototype Testing
Early modular components in active use — validating water flow, structural integrity, and user interaction patterns. These tests inform refinements to the final manufacturing design.
