This is a call to every American to step up and embrace the change that’s coming. You still have time to set up your own Aquaponics USA Food Forever™ food growing system even if you only have a terrace to do it on. The time and money you spend setting it up will be so worth your effort as the price of food continues to go sky high. You will feel so good feeding your family healthy, organic food that you grow yourself. What a beautiful teaching to pass on to your children and grandchildren.
Aquaponics USA is so much more than a web-based business.
IT’S A MOVEMENT--
A MOVEMENT TOWARDS SELF SUSTAINABILITY.
Our children deserve hormone free, pesticide free, GMO free organic food! For more information call 760-671-3053
The signs are clear. We can no longer depend on our Government to take care of us. The residents of the Gulf got that message loud and clear. Now, all the Gulf states are seeing our government turn a deaf ear to their screams of diseases running rampant due to the BP oil gush. We’re all getting it as we watch our entire financial system crumble before our eyes while our government leaders continue to argue over whether to cut or not to cut runaway and irresponsible spending. These reckless monetary policies are about to catapult us into hyper-inflation like clowns out of a canon.
THESE ARE OUR CHILDREN--
Environmental Requirements: Any farmer knows there’s a time to plant and a time to harvest. That time is dictated by the seasons. But we’re talking about feeding your family year round regardless of the time of year. So unless you live in a season-less, tropical climate, you will need to place your food-growing system in a protected environment. These systems come close to complete for those lucky enough to live in the tropics. For the rest of us, we have add-ons you will need to create your own tropical paradise including grow lights. Perhaps you would want to build or purchase a Greenhouse so you can take advantage of the sunlight that nature provides for free. These requirements are discussed in more detail on the Water & Fish pages.

We Americans have long been known for our Independence. We’re a nation of independent self-starting, highly ingenious people who have been the leaders of the world for several decades now. It looks like we’re quickly losing our position as financial leaders, especially since Standard & Poor’s recent move to downgrade the US from its standing as a Triple AA rated Nation (since 1917) to a Double AA+. Our dollar may even lose its status as the world’s reserve currency. Economic forecasters are predicting even harder times ahead; but we can rise from the ashes of the financial fires that are burning through our bank accounts, retirement plans and portfolios. We can follow in the steps of the Aussies where most of the Aquaponic food growing is going on. We can become Independent of the big food growing corporations whose pesticides and GMO experiments are threatening our health and lives. And we can survive the food shortages that are destined to come our way when hyperinflation charges at us like a runaway train. This shift into a near-depression economy can be a blessing in disguise because it’s pushing us to do something that hasn’t been done by the average American family since the last depression--GROW OUR OWN SAFE, ORGANIC FOOD!
You grow the fish and the plants and eat EVERYTHING.
Don’t be caught by surprise. Start preparing now; and start with what’s most important, FOOD!
We pumped out a lot of cucumbers last season. They grew right along with the melons and all hung on the same trellis. When you look at the live Webcam on the Greenhouse Page, on the right side of the Grow Bed is where this is all happening.
You’re looking into the large squash plant you see at your left, and here they come. We now realize we went overboard on the squash. The tomatoes had to compete for sun.
Squash has some of the largest leaves of any vegetable. We mixed squash with cucumbers in this Grow Bed, which we do not recommend. They both are flowering plants and were competing with one another.
Here’s a Grow Bed with spinach and melons. The climbers are the melons. The two containers attached to the Grow Beds are Automatic Fish Feeders.
Here comes our first batch of melons; and they are so delicious you don’t want to stop eating them.
Beans grow like weeds in an aquaponics system; and because they are climbers, they take very little space. Just make sure you plant them on the north side of the bed.
Here’s a Grow Bed full of Lettuce and Basil. They are non-flowering plants and very easy to grow.
Here’s a close-up of Cilantro. Salads are great with a dash of it; and it grows quickly in an aquaponics system.
Here is Tank #1 . It sits under Grow Bed #1in our Greenhouse. These guys were just fingerlings in these pictures. The white tube things are their houses. They love hanging out inside them. This entire aquaponic process has everything to do with the fish.
Here are the same tilapia eight months later. With proper nutrition, like our “Fast Growth” Quality Tilapia Fish Food, tilapia grow like weeds. There’s a live tilapia Webcam on our Greenhouse Page. They’re still growing, so go take a look at them now.
Here are some Lima Beans. Again Lima Beans grow like crazy in these systems and require vertical space and trellis netting but leave the whole Grow Bed Free for much more.
Peppers grow profusely in our food growing systems. It’s unbelievable to see how many peppers can grow on one plant in one Grow Bed.
Keep Watching This Page: As explained earlier, this section of our Home Page is dynamic and keeps changing. The fish grow, the vegetables grow, appear, disappear, new ones are planted. It’s the on-going adventure of being an Aquaponics USA farmer. Ultimately, it’s all about balance between the fish and the plants.
Because this is a no dirt, high water saturation system, your vegetables grow faster than they would grow in a regular soil garden. You can actually watch them grow from one day to the next. Lettuce has regularly demonstrated a growing time of 28 days. That’s less than a month. You can pick individual leaves and allow the plant to replenish itself or you can pull out the entire plant for eating. Aquaponics is a symbiotic system in which the fish feed the plants and the plants clean the fish water. For the price of fish food, you can provide your family with fresh organic protein and vegetables with minimal effort.
Our latest Videos shot during Christmas break 2011, “Aquaponics USA Travels to Tucson, AZ”, demonstrate how we built, installed and tested three of our Food Forever™ Growing Systems in three elementary schools in Tucson, AZ. If you’re interested in seeing system installations, these are the videos to watch. “What’s New At Aquaponics USA” shot in October of 2011 gives you an updated tour of our Greenhouse, introduces you to our newly constructed Growroom and our new Food Forever™ Growing Systems. Our informative “Aquaponics USA Greenhouse Tour Video Series” (made in October of 2009) is also a must see. They are all on the About Page where you’ll see our Proof-of-Concept Working Models at work. These are educational overviews of how the Greenhouse, the Growroom and the proven Food Forever™ Growing Systems (FFGS) grow both organic vegetables and delicious food fish. ENJOY! In the Greenhouse Tour Video Series, you’ll see three smaller 120 gallon fish tanks supporting our five grow beds. Currently, our largest fish tank is a 320 gallon one, which supports four large (14 sq. ft.) Grow Beds, which is a total of 56 sq. ft. We call this new larger system the FFGS-50. The stands and water pumps shown in the 2009 Greenhouse Tour Video Series have been up-dated. Our new systems use high quality, durable, magnetic drive submersible pumps located in the fish tank.
The FOOD FOREVER™ FAMILY SYSTEM, FFGS-100, comes with two 320 gallon fish tanks (only one shown in picture below) that are 6 feet in diameter and eight each, 14 sq. foot Deep Media Aerated Grow Beds for a total growing capacity of 112 sq. feet. You can raise up to 320 pounds of fish per year with this system. It’s easy to assemble and comes with proven syphons, water-delivery rings, a submersible pump and lots of extras. Click on the picture to go to the Product Page where it’s featured. To see all of our Growing Systems go to our Food Forever™ Overview Page.
Our Greenhouse In Action: Planting is an on-going activity; but we always make sure we plant something on July 4th. We feel that’s a perfect day to declare ourselves as people who are becoming “Food Independent”. We’ve just completed our new Grow Room; and it will double as a seedling starting room where we’ll place all of our newly planted seed trays to germinate and grow until they are ready to plant into their Food Forever™ Grow Beds. We’ve added four Grow Beds, a 320 gallon Fish Tank and a 120 gallon breeding/brooding tank to this new growing space, which means we will soon have 100 sq. ft. of growing area total. This is a dynamic situation; and we’re still beginners at gardening as neither of the founders of Aquaponics USA had ever grown food before our first Greenhouse planting in 2009.
The Food Forever™ FAMILY-STARTER SYSTEM, FFGS-20, is the perfect and most economical way to get started with aquaponics. It’s easy to assemble and comes with proven syphons, water-delivery rings, a submersible pump and lots of extras. You can raise up to 36 fish at 1.1 pounds (0.5 Kg.) each in this tank, which is about 80 pounds of fish per year. And it’s easy to Up-Grade. Click on the picture to go to the Product Page where it’s featured for more details.

Melons galore are growing in our Greenhouse. This one is a miniature watermelon. It’s actually hanging on the trellis. Can you imagine a full size watermelon hanging on a trellis?
Another kind of melon. This one is called an American Melon. It looks a lot like cantaloupe but greener.
Here’s an intertwined mixture of Melons and Egg Plant. They are both climbers and were happy to climb up the same trellis.
Got a hankering for hot stuff. We’ve got a lot of these little red peppers. This pepper plant just won’t stop growing and producing.
You can grow any kind of lettuce you can think of in an aquaponics system. This is sweet, delicious Butter-head lettuce. There’s also some Red Leaf in this Grow Bed. One Grow Bed grows lots of lettuce.
This is a Grow Bed full of tomatoes. Tomatoes are a flowering plant so you have to have a mature system (we recommend one year old) before attempting to grow tomatoes as they take a lot of nitrates from your other plants.

Food forever™
THIS IS OUR ECONOMICAL FOOD FOREVERTM FAMILY STARTER SYSTEM, the FFGS-20. It has a 120 gallon fish tank and two 11 sq. foot Deep Media Aerated Grow Beds like the ones you see here, for a total of 22 sq. feet of growing space (plumbing included but not shown). This Food ForeverTM Growing System (FFGS) is placed on an 8’ wide covered back porch. Since taking this picture, we have closed in this porch and have added grow lights to turn it into a year-round growroom. Go to our “Greenhouse” page to see this Growroom in action. Click the picture for details and pricing on the FFGS-20.
THESE ARE THE FISH--one of the best species of fish to grow because they are hardy and resilient--Tilapia. They are also a delicious mild white fish. You grow them in the fish tank.
If there was ever a time in the modern era to start growing food--it is NOW. The world-wide financial melt-down, complete with a downgrade of our triple AAA rating, is destined to bring with it hyperinflation and food shortages. Aquaponics is our answer. Aquaponics is a hybrid food growing technology combining the best of aqua-culture (growing fish) and hydroponics (growing veggies without soil), and it’s completely organic because the fish waste is your natural fertilizer and that means no pesticides. Aquaponics USA is dedicated to sharing information, developing products and bringing awareness of this life sustaining technology to every American home because it’s time Americans become Food Independent.
Aquaponics USA--Feeding America, One Family At A Time with our Food Forever™ Growing Systems! We have systems that range from 7.5 to 112 square feet of Grow Bed space and Fish Tanks from 100 to 320 gallons.
