Welcome to Manual Pro 360!
We are a dedicated resource for the fascinating world of aquaponics—a sustainable system that combines fish farming (aquaculture) with soilless plant cultivation (hydroponics). Our mission is to provide practical, reliable knowledge, covering everything from foundational concepts to advanced techniques, so that anyone can build and maintain their own efficient, eco-friendly food production system.
Our Story Manual Pro 360 began in 2023 as a personal project to explore methods that balance productivity with minimal environmental impact. After months of research, hands-on experiments with small prototypes, and exchanging experiences with fellow aquaponics enthusiasts, we realized there was no comprehensive, Portuguese-language guide that was both accessible and well-founded. Thus, this blog was created to share all our discoveries—failures and successes alike—in clear, illustrated language.
Mission Our mission is to democratize access to aquaponics knowledge, making it possible for hobbyists, educators, small-scale growers, and entrepreneurs to start or improve their integrated cultivation systems. To achieve this, we offer:
- Step-by-step guides: From system setup to daily maintenance and harvest.
- Equipment tests and comparisons: Evaluations of pumps, filters, growing media, and sensors to help you choose the best components.
- Design and scalability recommendations: Tips for layouts and space optimization, from mini home systems to larger commercial projects.
- Technical content and best practices: Advice on water quality, fish nutrition, and plant fertilization.
Vision We envision a future where aquaponics drives social and environmental transformation: urban backyards, schools, restaurants, and community farms utilizing circular systems to produce fresh food, reduce waste, and conserve water. Manual Pro 360 aspires to guide and inspire this journey, promoting practices that balance high yields with respect for natural resources.
