The ECO-Cycle Aquaponics indoor garden turns your existing 20-gallon fish tank (not included) into an indoor garden using aquaponics technology. Kids and even adults will love how you can grow your own vegetables and herbs on top of a fish tank. 

The fish produce waste that acts as fertilizer for optimal growth in plants. Since the plants absorb fish waste, it also helps clean the aquarium water, without you moving a muscle.

The built-in grow lights (LED lights) will help grow your plants faster with sufficient light. 

Additionally, having the water on timer will ensure the device never stops growing your plants efficiently.

It provides excellent sight, growth efficiency and turns your house into a smart garden house. You’ll have healthy indoor plants and healthy fish.

There’s also an automatic timer that will turn the lights on and off by itself. 16 hours on and 8 hours off is the best light cycle.

The VegeBox V-Basket is one of the more popular kits available today. It features a unique design that reminds me of a gas lamp. 

The V-Basket uses hydroponics technology, which means there’s no need for dirt. Instead, this kit contains nutrient rich liquid medium that feeds the plants directly through their stems. You don’t have to worry about watering because the VegeBox does it for you.

The compact size still provides 7 spaces to grow herbs in. The smaller size makes it lightweight and portable, but it isn’t that friendly to large vegetables or flowers due to the size. 

Despite its small size, it still has a large 1.65 liter water tank that gives enough water for about two weeks. 

The V-Basket has an automatic LED light (direct light) to make your plants grow. The light cycle consists of 14 hours of it being on and 10 hours of it being off.

It also requires no soil so it leaves things cleaner. It has a water pump (that’s 360 degrees) that helps with watering the plant roots.

The big brother to the previous 7-pod VegeBox V-Basket is the 12 planting pod Vegebox Kitchen-Box (K-Box) Indoor Garden system. 

The Kitchen Box is better for those who want to grow herbs and smaller vegetables like cherry tomatoes. It does come with a larger 2 liter water tank compared to the V-basket, since you can grow more with the K-Box.

There’s also a 22W LED grow light panel that’s full spectrum. It has different spectrums for different purposes:

  • Blue light helps with photosynthesis
  • Green light helps to improve taste in vegetables
  • IR and Red light helps increase production

There is no UV light either, so you won’t get sun burn while pruning, nor will it harm your eyes.
