The Aquadyne EcoSphere filtration systems – Models: 10/20 and 40/80 include a 1.5" control head with 1.5" ports in and out, with (3) ea. 1.5" self-sealing unions included. These models are excellently suited to filter ponds and other aquatic habitats. Both models come standard with an Air Backwash system that performs just like the larger Aquadyne systems except in a small footprint package for smaller water features, ponds, aquaponic systems, quarantine systems, or other small aquatic habitats ranging in the 1000 to 2000 gallon class. These systems offer an efficient water flow. You can backwash with as little as 15 gallons of water. These systems are also suitable for an indoor, large volume aquarium filter. These units are also an excellent starter for small laboratory research or aquaponic applications.
Aquaponics is the most efficient food production system in history. Healthy food is at your fingertips. Know and eat what you grow. Aquaponic gardening gives you the freshest organic foods available at your fingertips.
Aquaponic gardening is quickly becoming a popular way to produce a sustainable healthy food source both privately and commercially. By combining conventional aquaculture, which is raising fish or aquatic animals in tanks, with hydroponics, which is the growing plants in water without soil, you can create a symbiotic ecosystem which produces edible foods efficiently and at very little cost.
The key to success with any Aquaponic system is proper filtration. Only having water circulate between the fish tanks and planting beds will usually end in a toxic environment that will not support life for the fish or plants. The Aquadyne Ecosphere provides the perfect solution to a biologically balanced Aquaponic system to maximize the production of both healthy fish and plants for a toxin free source of food. Worried about eating the fish that you have grown and come to care for? Not to worry, simply enjoy your fish inhabitants as pets and use their waste products to produce the healthiest green crops you can eatwhile avoiding pesticides and toxic chemicals that are used in todays mass produced food sources.
The Ecosphere filters out fish waste and converts the byproducts by the nitrification process to nourish and produce healthy plant growth. Billions of beneficial bacteria grow naturally inside the filter media consume ammonia waste and produces Nitrites and Nitrates which are utilized as nutrients to nourish the plants in the grow beds as the water is circulated.
