That looks like an amazing concept! I especially dig the wading pool improvisation.
Ideally I would like to have something like this for indoors. Are there any plans to offer a non-backyard version at some point in the future?

There are a lot of indoor options available, but they are pretty small in size, and might produce a salad a week at the most. That's really not AutoMicroFarm's vision.
If you are thinking something that's larger in size, that's a possibility in the future. AutoMicroFarm would have to solve the issue of the weight (the water and sand in the current system are about 1.5 tons). Also, the cost of the LED lighting would have to come down before it is affordable.
With Colorado and Washington state (and I believe Alaska) now allowing homeowners to legally grow cannabis, I think a smaller version of this product for indoor use would have a market. It doesn't have to produce a large yield, and people would really like the aesthetic aspect of a closed cycle with fish involved.
