You are not alone in this. There is a lot of us out here even in Hawaii. I am out in Waianae. I know to some in Honolulu that seems like it might as well be on the mainland. We have more than one person into aquaponics out here in Waianae.

Welcome you will love the site. I have been here almost 2 years and I am addicted to aquaponics but also to this site.
