Vortex Aquaponics combines the methodology of aquaponics (culture of fish) and Hydroponics (culture of plants without soil) into a single agricultural system that works in various climates yielding an abundant amount of organic vegetation and edible fish. The design utilizes the principles of permaculture with elements such as bio-dynamics, vortexing, vertical towers, onsite fish food, efficient pump systems, LED lighting , food grade plastics, paramagnetic basalt piping and fiberglass piping with food grade epoxy .
