Auris Hydroponics is a leading provider of innovative aquaponic greenhouses that combine the benefits of hydroponic farming with aquaculture. Our aquaponic systems allow you to grow plants and raise fish in a symbiotic environment, creating a sustainable, closed-loop system that maximizes efficiency and productivity. We provide turnkey aquaponic solutions that include design, installation, commissioning, training, and crop management, ensuring your greenhouse is fully operational and profitable.
What is an Aquaponic Greenhouse?
An aquaponic greenhouse integrates hydroponic plant cultivation with aquaculture (fish farming). Fish waste provides a natural nutrient source for plants, and the plants help filter and clean the water for the fish. This closed-loop system is eco-friendly, reduces water usage, and provides two revenue streams – fresh produce and fish.
Benefits of Aquaponic Greenhouses
- Sustainable Farming: Aquaponics is a highly sustainable farming method, recycling water and nutrients in a continuous cycle, reducing resource waste.
- Dual Revenue Streams: Grow crops and raise fish in the same system, creating opportunities to diversify income from both produce and aquaculture products.
- Water Efficiency: Aquaponic systems use up to 90% less water than traditional farming, making them ideal for areas facing water scarcity.
- Organic Crop Production: Plants in aquaponic systems are grown without synthetic fertilizers, as the fish waste provides natural nutrients, leading to healthy, organic crops.
- Faster Growth Rates: Plants in aquaponic systems grow faster due to the continuous supply of nutrient-rich water, resulting in quicker harvests and higher yields.
- Integrated Pest Management: Aquaponic systems naturally minimize pests and diseases, reducing the need for pesticides and enhancing the quality of the crops.

- Ongoing Support & Crop Management: After setup, we provide ongoing support for crop selection, nutrient balancing, and fish health management to ensure the success of your aquaponic greenhouse.
How Aquaponic Systems Work
Aquaponic systems operate by creating a symbiotic relationship between plants and fish. The fish produce waste, which is broken down by beneficial bacteria into nitrates – a nutrient-rich solution that the plants absorb through their roots. The plants filter and clean the water, which is then recirculated back to the fish tank. This closed-loop aquaponic systemensures efficient use of resources and promotes a healthy, balanced ecosystem.
Types of Aquaponic Systems We Offer
Auris Hydroponics offers a variety of aquaponic systems based on your project size and crop requirements:
- Media Bed Aquaponics: Plants are grown in media-filled beds where the fish waste is broken down by bacteria into nutrients, which are then absorbed by the plants. This is ideal for small to medium-scale systems.
- Deep Water Culture (DWC): Plants are grown on floating rafts in a nutrient-rich water solution. This system is ideal for large-scale commercial production of leafy greens.
- NFT (Nutrient Film Technique): A thin film of nutrient-rich water flows over the roots of plants, allowing them to absorb the necessary nutrients. This system is perfect for smaller plants like herbs and greens.
- Vertical Aquaponics: In vertical systems, plants are grown in vertical stacks, maximizing space efficiency. This system is ideal for urban farms or small spaces.
Advantages of Aquaponic Greenhouses
- Sustainable Water Use: Aquaponic greenhouses recycle water between fish tanks and plant beds, reducing overall water consumption and making them an eco-friendly solution.
- Year-Round Production: With a climate-controlled aquaponic greenhouse, you can produce fresh fish and crops throughout the year, regardless of the external weather conditions.
- Chemical-Free Farming: Because the system relies on natural fish waste as fertilizer, there is no need for synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, making your crops organic and environmentally friendly.
- High Productivity: The combination of aquaculture and hydroponics allows for more efficient production, maximizing the output from both plant and fish farming.
- Space Efficiency: Aquaponic systems can be customized for urban settings, rooftop farms, or large-scale commercial operations, making them highly adaptable to various environments.
Suitable Crops and Fish for Aquaponic Greenhouses
Auris Hydroponics provides expert guidance on selecting the best plants and fish species for your aquaponic system. Common crops and fish include:
- Plants: Leafy greens (lettuce, spinach, kale), herbs (basil, mint, parsley), fruits (tomatoes, strawberries), and vegetables (peppers, cucumbers, beans).
- Fish: Tilapia, catfish, trout, perch, and ornamental fish like koi.
