Know before you buy
Yes, the bed is specifically engineered to support both methods. Its 12-inch depth provides enough room for standard media beds, while its structural integrity allows it to hold the water volume required for deep water culture.
Absolutely. The bed is constructed from food-grade ABS plastic that includes UV inhibitors, which prevents the material from degrading, cracking, or warping when exposed to harsh outdoor elements.
No, the bed does not come with pre-drilled drainage holes. This is intentional, as it allows you to customize the plumbing and bulkhead fittings to suit your specific aquaponic setup, whether you are using a flood-and-drain system or a constant flow design.
Yes, the design is reinforced to resist bowing even when fully loaded with water and heavy grow media. The ABS construction is rigid enough to maintain its shape under the weight of a full 50-gallon capacity.
Yes, the beds are designed to be modular. You can easily link multiple units together to increase your total growing surface area as your aquaponics system grows.
The 12-inch depth is versatile enough for a wide range of crops. It is ideal for leafy greens and herbs, but also provides sufficient root space for fruiting plants like peppers, tomatoes, or cucumbers.
