Small DIY aquaponic system producing food on small aquarium with 3d printed modules

I do have a relatively large food garden at my home, but growing food is time consuming and subject to many factors such as weather and diseases. This year was terrible, we had a very small harvest but we invested a LOT of work. This made me more interested in aqaponics and hydroponics.

I wrote about 3d printed aquaponics before but I researched more and found this small system.
It grows plants as part of small fish aquarium (10 gallon=37 liters) in 3d printed modules.

It loos good enough to start experimenting with spices, herbs and salads. Maybe also as a seed starter.

All the parts are here:
