Now you too can eat healthy and lower food bills.  Our ‘Fish in a Barrel’ Aquaponic Systems are designed to grow safe pesticide free food and be a pleasure to look at and show off to all your friends and neighbors. When the fish are big enough, you can get your fishing rod and catch a fish from your barrel. Eat the fish you’ve grown.  If you only have a small amount of space, this system may be for you as it has a small footprint.  

RE-PURPOSED: The fish tank barrel is made from an oak wine barrel complete with its hoop, rack and wine stains. It’s a nice career change for the barrel and adds a special touch for those who are sensitive to ecology and recycling.

UNIQUE: The 59 gallon oak wine barrel makes a beautiful fish tank. We cut 1 window in the barrel for viewing the fish. With a half ~30 gallon wine barrel as the primary grow bed. The whole system is rustic by design. This system can use as little as 10% of the water compared to conventional dirt gardening and has less issues with garden pest. After deciding and building the system that meets your needs, we finish with a medium walnut stain Danish oil. We find that each barrel takes the stain and oil in its own way along with their markings being slightly different hence no two barrels will be the same.

• Raise up to 6 pounds of fish at a time either for food or use ornamental species like goldfish or tropical fish(with the heater installed) in the 59 gallon re-purposed wine barrel with a viewing window.
• ~3 square feet of hydroton clay pebbles (included) media grow bed, great for growing organic fruits and vegetables without the use of any pesticides which could injure or kill the fish. This grow bed is also your biological filter and part of your mechanical filtration process.
• The grow bed features a continuous flow or autosyphon system.

 HANDCRAFTED: It is handcrafted by us with love and quality in mind here in California, USA. This was a display model in our showroom.
