⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Tran - Urban Homesteader
"I’ve been using the SDM Base Model in my backyard for five months now, and it’s transformed how we grow food. The round fish tank design makes water circulation so efficient—I’m growing lettuce and raising tilapia with almost zero waste. Setup was surprisingly easy thanks to the plug-and-play PVC system. Water usage is dramatically lower than my old raised beds. For a beginner like me, this has been a game-changer."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Alan Whitmore - High School Science Teacher
"We installed the Advanced Model in our biology lab last fall, and it’s become the centerpiece of our ecology curriculum. Students love seeing the symbiotic relationship between fish and plants in real time. The automated timer saves us time, and the CE + NSF certification gives us confidence in food safety when we harvest greens for the school garden club. It’s durable, quiet (barely noticeable during class), and perfect for hands-on learning."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chef Elena Martinez - Farm-to-Table Bistro
"We wanted hyper-local ingredients without the supply chain hassle. The Pro Model delivers. Installed on our rooftop six months ago, it supplies fresh basil, kale, and fingerlings weekly. The IoT monitoring alerts us to pH or temperature shifts instantly—huge for consistency. Our customers love knowing their salad was grown above the kitchen. Yes, it’s an investment, but the 90% water savings and reduced grocery bills pay for it fast."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ James Reed - Small-Scale Fish Farm Operator
"Running the Pro Model for seven months on a tight urban lot, and I’m impressed with the yield density. We’re producing 200L of greens and 15kg of fish monthly in just 2m². The modular metal racks allowed vertical expansion, and filtration efficiency is top-tier. Only downside? The initial setup required a technician for IoT calibration, but support was responsive. For commercial use, this is as close to ‘set-and-forget’ as it gets."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Priya Nair - Apartment Gardener
"I was skeptical something this effective could fit on my balcony. But the compact round design fits perfectly, and I’ve customized it with extra herb tiers using the modular rack. Using the Base Model with a manual pump keeps things simple. I grow mint, lettuce, and keep a few goldfish—low maintenance, high reward. Cleaning the PVC pipes takes minutes thanks to the smooth, CE-certified material. Truly sustainable living in the city."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 2 months

Dr. Linda Park - Urban Farming Consultant
"The SDM 20230601 stands out in the crowded aquaponics market due to its multi-scenario adaptability and closed-loop efficiency. Its round tank design isn’t just aesthetic—it enhances hydrodynamics for better nutrient distribution. For educators and urban farmers, this system offers the best balance of simplicity, scalability, and compliance with food safety standards."
Markus Vogel - Aquaculture Systems Engineer
"Few systems achieve true symbiosis without constant tweaking. The SDM’s recirculating design and UV-resistant PVC minimize maintenance while maximizing output. The Pro Model’s IoT integration sets a new benchmark for small commercial operations aiming for automation without complexity."
