2. Project Statement
As a part of the UArts Farm Philly initiative our goal is to utilize
aquaponics to grow food in an urban setting. Given Greensgrow’s
current involvement in hyrdroponics and aquaculture, an opportunity
for design exists in an aquaponics system. This design affordance
allows for the integration of a repeatable and expandable system
that gets food to people, educates and raises awareness.

4. How Aquaponics Works
Fish are fed food and
produce Ammonia rich
waste.
Bacteria breaks down the
Ammonia into Nitrites and
then Nitrates.
Grow Bed
Plants take in the
converted Nitrates as
nutrients.
Water in the system is
filtered by the plant roots
and by the grow medium.
Fish Tank
Oxygen enters the system
through an air pump and
during dry periods.
5. Adavantages of Aquaponics
Hydroponics + Aquaculture = Aquaponics
Uses Much Less Water
Farms Plants and Fish
No Added Fertilizer
Grow Almost Anywhere

21. Fish Tank The fish tank is a re-purposed 170 gallon galvanized steel trough.
The exterior is painted with latex paint from Greenable and the inside is coated with Pond Shield from Pond Armor.
22. Reservoir The reservoir is a re-purposed 80 gallon galvanized steel trough from Greensgrow
The exterior is painted with latex paint from Greenable and the inside is coated with Pond Shield from Pond Armor.
23. Tank Structure The structure is constructed of Spruce 2x4s that are sealed with soy-based sealers from Greenable.
24. Grow Beds The grow beds are re-purposed rain gutters from Greensgrow.
The support structure is constructed of Spruce 2x4s sealed with soy-based sealers from Greenable.
26. Materials Sponsors
