Tanks for the fresh produce

Short memories to fantastic fins, fish can be great pets. Keeping them healthy and happy is not always easy, but could be a lot easier with a new fish tank that cleans itself and grows fresh food at the same time.

The Home Aquaponics Garden, made by Back To The Roots, is a self-cleaning fish tank that uses bacteria to break down the fishes’ waste into nutrients for the plants. The wastewater is pumped up from the tank and converted by beneficial bacteria into nutrients for the plants growing in rockbeds at the top of the tank.

The plants - whatever you'd like to grow, from beans to basil and everything in between - use the nutrients and ‘clean’ the water, which then falls back down for the fish. It's a beautifully simple closed-loop ecosystem right on your table.
