    Yes.

    Working with Greenhouse Systems

    iAVs (Integrated Aquaponic Systems) are well-suited for greenhouses since they were designed for controlled environments. Greenhouses offer:

    • Protection from bad weather
    • Control over temperature
    • The chance to grow plants for more extended periods

    To add iAVs to an existing greenhouse, you’ll likely need to:

    • Set aside space for fish tanks and sand-based planting beds
    • Make sure there are proper plumbing and drainage systems
    • Possibly change existing watering setups

    Adapting for Indoor Systems

    Although iAVs are typically used in greenhouse-like environments, they can also work indoors with some adjustments:

    • Lighting: You’ll need extra grow lights to replace sunlight
    • Space: The system should be sized appropriately for indoor use
    • Climate control: You’ll need to manage the indoor environment to suit both the plants and the fish.
