Shape and size of your fish tank

There is always consideration on the size of your Aquaponics system.

Unless you are going only for a 2-grow beds/1 fish tank system, you would want to think of your layout/floor plan.

The worse thing to do is plan for your system and find that you don't have the space or you have an odd-shape space to build your system. Still you must stay with the ratio of fish tank to grow bed volumes.

Some people don't care about the aesthetics, some others do. It's up to the individuals.

You can build you own fish tank frame and add in pond liner.


Then you can buy your pond liners from:

Pond Liner - Hozelock Garden Pond Liner 4 x 3m
Manufacturer:Hozelock - United Kingdom
Hozelock pond liner is made from 0.5mm thick PVC, is highly resistant to UV light, heat and cold.
This liner is 4m by 3m in size.

However, if you got loads of money and want to custom-make your fibreglass tank, you can contact these guys.

Material: Fibreglass
Thickness: approx. 12 mm
Order processing time: 2 weeks
Applications: Water features & fountains, planters, water storage and other gardening purposes 

Note: Request for length more than 200cm, width more than 100cm, depth more than 45cm , please email them.

Happy farming.
