The Garden’s design is simple, freestanding, and virtually maintenance-free, making indoor gardening and a beautiful aquarium accessible to anyone regardless of experience with fish or plants. Eliminating the need for traditional synthetic nutrients by using principles that recycle wastes in natural ecosystems, making upkeep as simple as feeding your fish. The Garden fits any standard 10-gal aquarium, including existing tanks, making it the perfect way to grow fresh herbs/ornamentals anywhere.
We’re focused on helping people of all ages and abilities learn more about the sustainable potential of aquaponics — more specifically, you and your family. Think about it — fish and plants can comfortably coexist in the same ecosystem. As fish mature and produce waste, plants use that waste as their nutrients to grow, while also cleaning the tank’s water. So why not put those fish to good use?
AquaSprouts is dedicated to making the exciting world of aquaponics and hydroponics accessible to all. We aim to integrate the innovative principles of aquaponic farming into homes, offices, and classrooms. Aquaponics, which combines fishkeeping with hydroponic gardening, reduces waste and maintenance by recycling fish waste into nutrients for plants, keeping the water clean and clear without extra filters or frequent changes.
We want AquaSprouts to be more than just a product; we want to provide a platform for you to explore aquaponics and see how its synthesis of natural science and technology can change the world. Our goal is not to feed you and your neighbors directly, but to feed minds and fuel curiosity. Our products are a miniaturized, living lesson in sustainability in a world where the concept becomes more important every day.
Aquaponics sets itself apart from traditional aquariums and water gardens by requiring minimal maintenance, even after it’s up and running

Fully functional indoor garden and aquarium system that allows you to grow plants and keep fish in an integrated ecosystem
Through specialized curricula educators provide students with a unique learning experience that engages curiosity & appreciation for the natural world
DO I NEED TO CHANGE THE WATER AS FREQUENTLY AS I WOULD IN A TRADITIONAL AQUARIUM?
In aquaponics, you don’t have to change the water as often as in a traditional aquarium. However, performing partial water changes (usually 10-20%) on a quarterly basis is recommended.
HOW DO YOU ACCESS THE AQUARIUM OR FEED THE FISH?
There is a 2-inch gap between the grow-bed and the aquarium to easily accommodate accessories like automatic feeders and heaters. This space also facilitates fish feeding. For full aquarium access, you can slide the Garden forwards or backwards.
WHAT CAN I LEARN FROM MY AQUAPONICS GARDEN?
The AquaSprouts Garden is perfect for not only growing herbs & keeping a clean aquarium but also teaching chemistry, biology, and ecology. It’s a dynamic ecosystem model that engages kids by showing how fish food transforms into plant growth.
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED FOR MY GARDEN BESIDES A STANDARD 10 GALLON AQUARIUM?
You’ll need gravel/decor, fish, fish food and water conditioner or a source of dechlorinated water. A grow light is optional but broadens plant options. Consider a tank heater for cold environments as most fish need warm temperatures.
HOW IS THE AQUASPROUTS GARDEN MAINTAINED?
The Garden is low-maintenance, needing only regular fish feeding and water top-offs. Pruning promotes healthy growth and prevents overcrowding, helping plants thrive. Regular upkeep of your aquaponic system is necessary for its success and health.
