The internet has many sites that offer small kits, from the size of small aquariums to quite substantial ones that can cost quite a bit of money depending on their quality and the equipment that is provided with them.

Indoor aquaponics kit – what does it look like?

The vast numbers of these small kits are made of plastic, but some people have opted to spend more money by purchasing larger glass aquariums. The rest of the system is usually made of plastic-lined wooden grow-beds and often just plastic containers.

There are available on the market all in one ready-made kits of plastic, that also looks very modern and do in fact provide a small number of leafy greens. The question one has to make is how much food do they need and does a small to large Indoor aquaponics kit provide it?

Indoor aquaponics kit – how much space?

Other questions that arise are ones that have to do with the space required to house these systems and the overall mass of the system. These systems can be heavy! Thus it is important to check if the structure can hold all that weight concentrated in one area. This is ordinarily done by a civil engineer for a fee.

Indoor aquaponics kit- decide what you really want

At the end of the day, it is purely a personal decision as to whether or not one wishes to begin with experimenting with a small system or move on to a bigger one straight away.

Larger systems do tend to have stability in their numbers as far as ph. and temperatures and do of course provide more food; they also provide an excellent way to learn as much as one can about aquaponics and how it works.

The Indoor aquaponics kit may be an option for people living in apartments in the inner city, but once more, they will have to deal with the same issues of locating it and its mass. Some city dwellers opt to place these systems on window sills if they are small or balconies if they are large. Either way, an Indoor aquaponics kit is a good way to learn more about aquaponics.
