Course: Aquaponics System Engineering and Construction (German)
Optionally on site or online
This course is held on-site and online in German
The course takes place from the 24.-25.10.2026 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
This practical intensive course is designed for anyone wishing to acquire a deep technical understanding of the construction and reliable setup of an aquaponics system. You will learn how to size a system properly from scratch, balance it hydraulically, and implement it either yourself or professionally using the right components.
If you already operate a system, the knowledge provided will enable you to technically evaluate and understand your system in detail, as well as optimize and improve it effectively.
What You Will Learn in This Course
Fundamentals: Understanding biochemical processes (nitrogen cycle, nutrient dynamics) and the basic operating principles of aquaponics.
System Planning: Definition of framework conditions, design of the water circuit, design options, and the exact matching of fish stocking and plant density.
System Components & Hydraulics: Implementation options and technical sizing of fish tanks, filtration systems (solids and biofilters), pumping circuits, aeration, plant growing systems, and emergency backup systems for reliability.
Practical System Construction: Specific tips and tricks for tank bulkheads, solids lifting outlets (SLO), swirl and radial flow filters, biofilters, airlifts, media beds, floating rafts (DWC), and grow towers.
Practical Examples: Illustrative case studies and proven solutions from real-world aquaponics projects to avoid common design mistakes.
Your Benefits
You will gain solid know-how and the technical expertise required to professionally plan and hydraulically balance your own aquaponics systems, ensuring efficient, fail-safe, and long-term operation.
You will be fully equipped to understand, evaluate, adapt, and independently expand complex, large-scale system implementations down to the technical details.
