The Water Garden Duo is an award-winning home ecosystem that makes the perfect gift, educational family project, or piece of living home decor.

My New Project

My fiancé’s family did a gift exchange this year for Christmas and my kids received this cool system. They weren’t into it much but I was too thrilled to tinker with it. Set up about 5 days ago, real simple and I think it’s great practice before getting deeper into aquaponics. This small system is helping me practice as well as do some research and development. I eventually will create a larger system as I love growing my own herbs and some produce as it is. Now I can watch plants thrive without fussing with soil and watch fish thrive without fishing with a bunch of chemicals. I can’t wait to taste these organic micro greens.

Mom Has A New Best Friend

Mom has been wanting a fish tank, but I was weary of getting something that required a lot of maintenance and frequent cleaning. I picked the Back To Roots system because it's an American small startup, and I liked the idea of a "self cleaning" tank that required little attention after initial setup.

I was impressed when the package arrived. The instructions came with great diagrams and photos, and I had it set up within an hour. I will add that you really need to wash and rinse the stones in cold water thoroughly. I kept adding water and swirling the stones in a large bowl, and did this several times until the water was clear and left litte sediment in the bowl. I used two and a half gallons of purified water instead of tap water, so I didn't even need to use the water treatment that was included. Instead of throwing a fish in right away, I decided to start the plant growing process first to let the ecosystem start with plants to start the oxygen cycle process. I also threw in some live plants on the bottom that the person in the pet store recommended. After about 3 days, plants were already starting to sprout. I then went out and got Buddy, a fiery red Betta. After letting Buddy sit in his bag inside the aquarium for 15 minutes to allow the water temperatures to balance out, I let Buddy into his new environment with a little fear and hope. He swam around freely, but I knew it would be a little while before we would know if he would be ok in the new water. Well, he adapted…

Great Company

I absolutely love the idea behind this product, just wish the tank was a little bigger. This company has amazing customer service! I really appreciate that because it is hard to find a company that values great service these days. Thank you!

My shrimps and tetras got sucked into the pump and died

I had four blue velvet shrimps in the tank and three tetras. The shrimps got sucked into the pump and died inside the plant container, it looks like they were trying to get back in the tank through the sponge 😭😭 and the tetras got suck unto the pump inlet area and died. I got a XS water filter from petco and my fish is doing ok so far now.

Even with the poor start, The Water Garden Duo is an awesome STEM product and systems for anyone wanting to get into aquaponics, the plants spout super quick, and there is lots of fun (& ❤️‍🩹 🪦 🐠) that comes with learning new hobbies. I do highly recommend this product, please learn about your pets and test your water’s ph levels at your local pet store for free.
