Needed Skill-Level

A bit of basic DIY experience and an enjoyment of hands-on work are recommended. 
But with our highly detailed construction plan, everyone has been able to successfully set up the system.


What is included in the construction plan? 

A fully illustrated step-by-step manual with clear, detailed assembly instructions. 

In English and German Language.

Covers both the aquaculture and the connected hydroponics system, along with their integration. The hydroponics setup can be easily adapted to your available space using the guide.  

A detailed parts list with precise specifications, plus sourcing information for many different countries.

How much time is required to set it up?

With two people, the setup takes around 3–4 days. 
It can, however, also be assembled solo without help.

How much time is required to operate the system?

On average, you’ll need to clean the solid filter once a week (less often in the beginning, more often towards the end), which takes about 30 minutes.

Apart from that, feeding the fish twice a day only takes about a minute — and it’s usually quite fun.

How much time you spend caring for the vegetables depends on what you’re growing, but in summer 30 minutes per weeks at least should be planned for.
