How does a Portable Farms™ Aquaponics System work?
The Portable Farms™ Aquaponics Systems is a closed loop, water-based fish and organic vegetable production system. It utilizes insulated and heated fish tanks to grow Tilapia, and then runs the warm water from the fish tank (laden with nutrient-rich fish waste) through a settling-tank clarifying system, and then the water flows through gravel-filled trays to feed and water growing plants. The entire system is built in modules; each module contains one fish tank, one settling tank, and up to 200 sq. feet of growing space and these modules are enclosed in a climatically adapted growing structure, usually a greenhouse. The structure keeps out pests and helps maintain temperature.

It is not designed to replace regular land-based agriculture. The main function of the Portable Farms™ Aquaponics Systems is to produce nutri
