Aquaponics + ArduinoAquaculture + Hydroponics水產養殖 水耕

Local / Sustainable FoodThe waste product of one biological system serves as nutrients for another biological systemA polyculture that yield multiple productsWater is reused (up to 98%) by biological filtrationEnergy Saving (up to 75%) compare with traditional agricultureFeed conversion ratio (1.7lb. of feed for 1lb. of fish)Local food production / Community coherenceIntermediate solution for transition from traditional agriculture to organic (農民收入)

Ancient skillAztec - Chinampas (the floating island)

Hawaiian - Lo’i

China - 桑基魚塘

Subsystems

Fish Tank

Grow Bed

Circulating

Monitoring

Fish Tank Fish Feed (organic? no fish meal based feed)

Automatic fish feeder (3d printing, freq./volume)

Material of Fish Tank (FRP, PP or HDPE)

Environment and Water Quality (Monitoring System)

Species of Fish (Tilapia/養殖魚類 or 其他觀賞魚類)

Grow Bed Type of grow system

✓ Media based✓ Floating Raft (over water) (for 育苗?)✓ NFT (Nutrient Film Technology)

Material of Grow Bed (PP or HDPE)

plants varieties (甜羅勒, 萵苣 ... others)

Media (硝化石/發泡石)

Media based

Raft

NFT

Circulating scheme

Horizontal

vertical (space/productivity concern)

Electrics / Electronics devices (Arduino / Sensors / Pump )

Material of Pipe (PP or HDPE)

MonitoringWater Quality / Usage✓ Temperature (Water, Air, Media/Circulating Sys.)✓ PH (Fish tank, Circulating sys.)✓ Dissolved Oxygen (Fish tank)✓ Dissolved Solid (Fish tank) ✓ Ammonia, Nitrites, and Nitrates (Fish tank)✓ Alkalinity (Fish tank)✓ Nutrients balance

Fish density and feeding (weight and size)Pests control (Fish and plant)Good Harvest Practice (fish and plant)

Operation challengeSystem Initiation (Nitrification process)

Feeding (ingredient and frequency)

pest control

nutrient balance (fish and plant)

System debugging and tuning

Resources (material, manpower, energy saving and maintenance)

Urban development and Social Impact

Urban food security (poor section)Community environment management / ecologicalPoverty alleviation (food bank)Integration of newcomers and disadvantage groupLocal economics (farmers market)Productive urban landscape

Future developmentPromotion to community (Social Responsibility?)

Education to public/schools (Make Fair, DIY classes)

Roof Top or Container (Urban Farming/Vertical)

Initiation for FabLab at School? (Abandoned elementary schools / classroom)
