We Make Aquaponics Easy For You
When we began in commercial aquaponics in 2007, we had a hard time because of the lack of good information available. Although it was difficult, we figured it out pretty fast, because our financial survival depended on it.
We want a world that works for everyone, so when we did figure out our final aquaponic technology, sharing that information with the world was an easy decision.
That’s why we say: “Our job is to make aquaponics EASY for you!”
Because that’s our job, we give away a lot of good information for free. This makes it easier for you to get started, and it’s easy for you to see the quality of our information without having to buy anything.

The simplest and most economical way to get started in aquaponics is the E-Book “Aquaponics The EASY Way” that Susanne wrote. This is a complete, easy-to-read book with lots of full-color photos, which tells you how to build and operate small tabletop aquaponics systems from parts you can buy at Home Depot and PetCo.
You can build the smallest system in this book for under $100, put it on the kitchen counter in your city condo, and light it with a compact flourescent bulb! This book empowers everyone to become an aquaponic farmer!
Starting Small Is Essential!

Who are we?
We are Susanne Friend and Tim Mann, the married partners in Friendly Aquaponics. We’re always completely honest (see our “Marijuana Growing In Aquaponics” page). We don’t sell aquaponics equipment, which allows us to be completely objective about what works, what doesn’t, and what is way, way too expensive for you to even consider.
We learned our aquaponics the hard way: because we had to figure out how to make a profit with our commercial aquaponics farm after spending all our loan money on an unprofitable technology we learned at a university.
Susanne got the first aquaponic system in the world USDA Certified Organic in 2008; and the first to get it Food Safety Certified in 2009.
Susanne developed an easy-to-use aquaponic planting technology that puts 6.5 plants, on average, into every square foot of your system.
We developed a solar aquaponic greenhouse technology with integrated aquaponics systems that will save you tons of money on heating and cooling your greenhouse forever (and BTW, it’s economical to build).
You don’t have to figure any of this stuff out, because we already did; just follow the directions in our easy-to-read DIY packages and you can be as successful the first time around as the most experienced aquaponic professionals.

Our Free Information For You:
Many people tell us our FREE information is better than what they got in expensive courses from others. The reason it’s easy for us to give away so much for free is because we have so much more information in our products. What we give away is a small part of what you get if you purchase from us.
