Back to the Roots AquaFarm Uses Aquaponics System for Self-Cleaning Fish Tank

This is a 2-in-1 aquarium, Back to the Roots AquaFarm combines 3-gallon fish tank with a vegetable/herb grow bed in one closed loop system that fits on any kitchen counter. This is the new model that comes with silent, submersible water pump with 360-degree view.
