The article had photos and it looked like it was about 8' across. Hope this helps with your plans.

He explained that due to the cannabalization rate it is far from profitable. They also take far too long to grow to full size. I think I might try yellow perch or crappie. Bass is another possibility. I really want to do rainbow trout, but that will have to wait for my backyard unit. It would be too expensive to chill the water on my front porch.

Sorry no not that I know off, I mostly deal with Gold fish, silver perch, rainbow and brown trout in my Aquaponics systems.
