Frequently Asked Questions
How much substrate will you need to fill this growbed?
| You will need 0.0864 cubic meters (or approximately 86.4 liters) to fill the grow bed. |
What substrate will work best with this growbed for an aquaponics system?
|
For this grow bed, small river rocks are an excellent choice and are commonly used in aquaponics systems. To ensure the rocks won’t alter the water’s pH, you can perform a simple vinegar test: 1)Place a sample of the rocks in a glass. |
Can you deliver this growbed to my location?
| Yes, we can deliver the growbeds to your location, anywhere in the world. |
Are fiberglass growbeds safe for food production?
| Yes, our fiberglass grow beds are safe for food production because they are manufactured with food-grade resin. We ensure the grow bed is specifically designed for agricultural or aquaponics use, as this reduces the risk of harmful chemicals leaching into the water or substrate. |
How durable are they in outdoor conditions, especially under direct sunlight and water exposure?
| Fiberglass grow beds are highly durable in outdoor conditions. They are resistant to water damage, do not rust, and can withstand prolonged exposure to moisture. When manufactured with UV-resistant coatings, they perform well under direct sunlight, maintaining their structural integrity and color for many years. However, over time, continuous exposure to harsh sunlight without UV protection may cause slight fading or surface degradation. Proper maintenance, such as cleaning and occasional resealing if necessary, can extend their lifespan. |
The NanoBubbler™ in Action
The NanoBubbler™ creates 170 Liters of air bubbles per minute and produces three major categories of air bubbles:
Macro Bubbles
These bubbles are large and visible. They create movement in the water column as they rapidly rise to the top of the water’s surface. They attached to dead bacteria and other debris and lift them to the surface.
Fine / Micro Bubbles
These bubbles are much smaller but still visible. They remain in the water column for a short period of time (1 min- 1hour). Some of these bubbles will amalgamate with others and form bigger bubbles. Others will implode under the water pressure and the air will dissolve into the water increasing/maximizing dissolved oxygen. Dissolved oxygen is crucial not only for aquaculture but also for aerobic oxidative bacteria. The more dissolved oxygen in the water the more active are the aerobic bacteria in degrading organic matter improving the water body conditions.
Ultra Fine / Nano Bubbles
With most polluted water sources there is a thick layer of sediment at the bottom of the water column. This sediment is usually in an anaerobic state as little or no oxygen reaches this layer. The Nano Bubbles has the ability to remain in water and contact the sediment layer. At this depth air inside the bubble is dissolved into the sediment layer. This changes this area to an aerobic condition accelerating organic matter oxidation and decomposition and cleaning the sediment layer.
