Modular Aquaponics Farm (model)

thingiverse

The model is 1:20 scale with a suggested print size of 200%. Constructed using durable PVC pipes measuring six inches by eight feet, supported by sturdy 2x4s, two powerful HPS bulbs with a wattage of 250 each are mounted centrally within each plant module. A hardwood basin serves as the foundation, secured with a watertight coating courtesy of high-quality pond liner to prevent leaks. Alternatively, you can fashion fish modules from chicken wire or finer mesh encircling a minimalist wooden frame; they will comfortably sit atop the water basin. Elevated planters suspended above the aquaculture units draw their hydration directly from the central reservoir via a pressurized pipeline system. Designed for optimal growth, these raised garden beds can accommodate pairs of 2x2 modules or be effortlessly expanded to larger configurations, thus justifying its title as modular and versatile in design.
