TAB Aquaponics System
Year-round, organic, low stress aquaponics gardening is finally here. AB Aquaponics System is the world’s first organic gardening system that has been designed to grow plants and fish, year-round, both indoors and out. AB Aquaponics System is a highly productive aquaponics system that grows a nearly boundless variety of plants using organic nutrients supplied by fish growing in an attractive adjoining tank. Imagine, waist-high container gardening without weeds or back strain that automatically waters and fertilizes itself and takes only minutes a day. All while using a fraction of the water of a dirt-based gardening system.
