AQUA DESIGN INNOVATIONS

Aqua Design Innovations' goal is to connect people with nature by introducing concepts of sustainability in a compelling way. The EcoQube is a miniature aquatic ecosystem for your home or office. The heart of the EcoQube is the Aquaponics Filter, which grows herbs, house plants, or flowers indoors while using the same plants to purify and remove physical and soluble chemical waste from aquarium water. The filter converts fish waste into fertilizer for the plants and the plants then clean the w... ater for your fish, serving as a natural water purifier so that you never need to replace any filters. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) at the top of the unit emulate the spectrum of natural sunlight to ensure that your plant grows with ease. Simply feed the fish, trim the leaves, and reap the rewards. The same filtration system can also be implemented on larger systems such as aquaculture (tilapia farming), agriculture, localized food production and sewage treatment. TECHNOLOGY Current Filters require over $150 and 20+ times of filter changes per year. Most people don't do it resulting in over 80% of fish dying within the first year. Our aquaponics filter integrates the farming method of aquaponics: the use of plant roots to filter water and directly convert waste into fertilizer for growth. Core advantages include: 1. Full Spectrum Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that emit specific spectrums for photosynthesis- enabling the aquarium to be placed in any lighting condition. 2. First ever, UV LEDs for water sterilization. 3. Mechanical designs for optimized oxygen content, root growth and filtration.
