Do-It-Myself Aquaponics Training and Construction Package for FAMILY Systems

Specifics covered are: site selection, system construction and operation, water quality and sources, vegetable and aquatic species qualities and selection, troubleshooting and problem solving of common system problems.

Package includes: Includes a course manual, computer-drawn construction plans, a construction manual, and a day-to-day operations manual. Also included, all the information on aquaponics the Commercial package does AND includes the MicroSystem plans. This package is appropriate for a large family or someone who wants to take some produce to the farmers market once or twice a month for a little additional income.

With your basic construction and plumbing skills, and ~$1,800 in materials (total investment of under $2,100, including the cost of this package), you will have a stable, easy-to-operate system that will produce between 175-350 pounds of organic vegetables (depending upon what you grow, and your ambient temperature) and 20-30 pounds of fish per month. Assuming you would have to pay at least $5.00 per pound – remember, when you eat food you raised yourself, you are paying yourself what the retail cost of that food would be, and this is a conservative estimate – for organic produce and naturally-raised fish, that means you will be producing between $975 – $1,925 of high-quality food per month. Even at the low end of these numbers, your system pays for itself within the first year of operation (as it takes 3-4 months to get the system into full vegetable operation from the time you begin construction, and around one year before you have fish ready to eat).

Of course, if you can afford the time and travel costs, the live group trainings or live individual trainings are the highest level of assistance we can offer you to get started in aquaponics. If you are unable to attend a live training, these self-taught packages have all the hard-copy information contained in those trainings, plus construction and operations manuals that walk you through construction and operation of these systems.

Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. You will receive a package that includes a set of detailed CAD (computer aided designed) plans for the family system that are sealed separately in their own envelope. Take all the time you need to review the information in the manuals, and make sure that this information is rock solid. As long as the plans envelope remains unopened, you can return the package anytime within 30 days for a full refund.
