Like many, you might also be unsure about how deep should the aquaponics grow bed? The depth of grow bed in a media based aquaponics system is well documented. According to many media-based aquaponics system growers, about 12” (300 mm) of media, with the top 1 – 2” is the ideal size being left dry to reduce algae and fungal growth. Deeper beds are expensive compared to smaller or medium size beds. The reasons behind this expensiveness are the cost of extra media, the cost of supporting the weight of the extra media and above all the need for a larger fish tank to fertigate the entire media. In addition with that if you want to stick with 4 – 6” depth then you can use standard hydroponic flood and drain trays that are widely available.

Whether it is small or big, the things that require building an aquaponics system are:
· Fish Tank: It is the main tank in which you need to raise your fish.
· Garden: It is the place where the plants will grow. It has its own watering system that provides waters to the fish tank.
· Sump Tank: Sump tank is the lowest point of an aquaponics system, and also the place that collects water from the garden before it returns to the fish tank.
· Pump: It acts as the horsepower for your system. It moves and directs the flow of water from one area of the garden to the next.
