Benefits Of Aquaponics• Reduced water use. Only about 10% of the water required for
traditional gardening or aquaculture
• Reduced or only soft/natural chemical use
• Little or no pests when set up in a controlled environment
• No back breaking digging in messy, dirty soil
• No soil borne diseases and virtually no weeds
• Can produce fish and plants all year round
Expanded Clay for AquaponicsThe best medium to use in an aquaponics system is expanded clay. Expanded clay is a porous, lightweight, earthy clay aggregate. It’s durable and has exceptional capillary properties. The internal structure absorbs nutrient solution, releasing it to the plant on demand. It holds the plant in place but is light enough to allow air penetration to the roots, which prevents excessive acidity and rotting. Expanded clay is pH neutral and is reusable for many years. Beware of inferior brands as they break down and turn to slush!
We have a large range of trays, tanks, filters and care equipment.

Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics. The water from the fish tank circulates through the grow beds, which are filled with expanded clay or aquaclay. Nitrifying bacteria converts fish waste into available plant nutrients. The water is then filtered by the medium (or mechanical filter if attached), returning by gravity or pump back to the fish tank, giving the fish clean water to live in.
This kit comes complete with:✔ 1 x Aquaculture tank 1000 litre✔ 1 x 4000Lph pump 3.2mH✔ 1 x Grow tray 220 x 2170 x1050mm✔ 1 x stand in matching colour✔ 7 x German quality expanded clay 50 litre✔ Irrigation and fittings with aerating eductor✔ FREE METRO DELIVERY
The 1000 litre tank can grow 20 fish to maturity and the deep 220mm grow bed can grow enough vegetables to feed a family. With this deeper growing bed you can still grow all your favourites from seed or seedlings such as herbs, Asian vegetables, lettuce, beetroot and chillies as well as larger rooting vegetables like tomatoes, cucumber, capsicum and much more.
