<p> I am trying to figure out the best way to keep my Hoop House going throughout the winter. I live in norfolk, va and the winters dont get extremely cold but they can get a little frigid at times. I have a roughly 650 cubic ft double insulated fan inflated hoophouse that has an insulated north and south wall. I have roughly 1200 gallons of water in a CHOP PIST type of aquaponic system using IBC's. The media is 3/4 gravel. Everything is growing good now but its starting to get cold…</p>

Everything is growing good now but its starting to get cold outside now and I'm trying to figure out the best way to heat it during the winter. Is it better to heat just the water or the entire greenhouse? Or both? I thought maybe some aquapons with some knowledge on the subject could shed some light on this for me.</p>
<p>I added some pictures to maybe help with the process. This is before I attached everything and covered it but you can see the basic layout of it. Below that is the growbeds in the covered greenhouse.<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2656368084?profile=original" target="_self"><br/><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2656368084?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I am new to aquaponics and am planning my first system with limited space in the backyard. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with growing plants in a greenhouse while keeping the fish outside? </p>
<p>I have a small greenhouse constructed on a 7 x 3 foot wood pallet which would serve as the area to house the grow beds. I want to maximize my grow bed area so I was planning to place the fish tank outside to save space. I don't believe this is an ideal situation but…</p>
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I am new to aquaponics and am planning my first system with limited space in the backyard. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with growing plants in a greenhouse while keeping the fish outside? </p>
<p>I have a small greenhouse constructed on a 7 x 3 foot wood pallet which would serve as the area to house the grow beds. I want to maximize my grow bed area so I was planning to place the fish tank outside to save space. I don't believe this is an ideal situation but figured it would be better than using no greenhouse at all. I live in Southern California where the weather is pretty mild so I figured it would not be too extreme a difference. I was also thinking I could insulate the fish tank and pipes to help keep water temp more constant.</p>
<p>Any thoughts or inputs would be appreciated. </p> Vote for GrowHaustag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2011-06-13:4778851:Topic:1316102011-06-13T20:19:20.881ZTawnya Sawyerhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/TawnyaSawyer
