Fishtanks are notorious for requiring a lot of maintenance, but the second-generation Water Gardens are intended to offer a way to keep a tank clean and also maintain a mini garden.
Designed by Pablo Velazquez, the Water Garden works to push the fish waste that is created in the bowl upward to the roots of the plants. This works to keep the fish in clean water as well as help the plants to grow up to twice as fast as without the ammonia-rich waste.
The second-generation Water Gardens cycle the water with the waste up to the plants and, after being filtered, sends the fresh water back into the tank. This makes the Water Garden virtually maintenance-free thanks to the self-cleaning design.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Self-cleaning Fishtank Gardens
- Opportunity to disrupt the fishtank industry by creating low-maintenance, self-cleaning tanks that support plant growth.
- Aquaponic Systems
- Opportunity to develop sustainable aquaponic systems that combine fish farming and plant cultivation.
- Smart Home Aquatic Solutions
- Opportunity to integrate automated, self-cleaning fishtanks into smart home ecosystems.
Sectors Adopting This
- Pet Supplies
- Opportunity for pet supply companies to develop and market self-cleaning fishtank gardens.
- Agriculture
- Opportunity for agriculture companies to explore aquaponic systems for sustainable food production.
- Home Automation
- Opportunity for home automation companies to incorporate self-cleaning fishtank gardens into their product offerings.
