Description
Aquaponics, which combines aquaculture and hydroponics, allows students to observe nutrient cycling first hand. With the AquaSprouts® system, as students feed their classroom fish, the fish provide nutrients to the plants via a submersible pump. The plants in turn detoxify the water by removing nitrogen before the water is returned to the fish tank. Easy to set up and maintain, the AquaSprouts® system is the stylish desktop aquaponics system perfect for your classroom!
The AquaSprouts® Garden comes with an easy-to-assemble, custom-molded garden that fits any standard 10-gal aquarium (not included), light bar (light fixture and bulbs not included), pump and timer, and clay growing medium to help your plants grow strong. To create a healthy habitat, do not forget a dechlorinator or water conditioner if you are using tap water.
When fully assembled, the AquaSprouts® Garden is 28″ L, 8″ W (10″ with 10-gal aquarium), and 17″ H (35″ H with light bar).
