The IAS1200.
A turnkey, closed-loop commercial aquaponics system housed inside a 40-ft shipping container — orchestrated by a Raspberry Pi 5 edge controller running real-time sensor fusion across pH, temperature, N, K, Ca, and Fe.
Annual fish yield
5,000 lbs
Continuous harvest
Tower capacity
180
TS40 / TS60 per controller
Nutrient cycle
30 min
60-gal automated swap
Housing
40 ft
Biosecure container

// System Architecture
Three subsystems, one autonomous loop.
1. Aquaculture & migration
Three rearing tanks (introduction, juvenile, harvest) connected by 12" lateral interconnects with gate valves — fish move stress-free across growth stages on a continuous harvest cadence.
2. Filtration & nutrient mfg
Three modular filter stages — mechanical solids capture, nitrifying biological media, and mineralization breakdown — unlocking Ca, K, Fe, and N from organic aquaculture waste.
3. Monitoring & delivery
Raspberry Pi 5 edge controller polls pH, Temp, N, K, Ca, Fe. Multi-pump auto-correction runs a 60-gal water swap between fish and plant reservoirs every 30 minutes.
