Title:
水槽アクアポニックスシステムおよび方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6724003
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An aquaponic housing unit fits over standard aftermarket aquariums. The system utilizes the natural symbiotic relationship between fish and plants to achieve adequate filtration for the aquarium below. A large planting container is elevated over the aquarium by two support legs so that the planting container is larger than the aquarium. The support legs can be used to hide wires or control boxes, along with using the legs as storage compartments or additional planting area. An aquarium pump delivers water to the planting container so that fish waste can be used as nutrients for plants in the container. The nitrogen cycle transforms the fish waste into useable nutrients for the plants, thus cleaning the water for the aquarium. The system can be used as a learning tool for students of all ages. It also creates a low maintenance, self-watering and self-fertilizing garden.
