<p>Hello All,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My name is Allan Lanton. I am starting a aquaponics nonprofit program here in Dayton, OH called Evergrowing. I would like to work with you and the Aquaponic Association if possible. Currently I am revising my business plan. I would love to have your opinion on financials and such.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>I'm also in Annandale - I've been doing a lot of traveling lately, so haven't done much with my system since fall, but the fish are still alive (goldfish and minnows in the sump, bluegill in the main tank). Even though most the plants disappeared at the end of summer, I've still got strawberry plants wandering over my growbeds (note, I didn't mention anything about actual strawberries), a happy beet plant that I munch off when I wander down to check/feed fish, and two banana…</p>

<p>I think we'll be kicking off the DC branch of the Aquaponics Association in January. I suspect a tour of Joel Thevoz' new 3000 gallon system at his catering business in Arlington will be an early adventure for the group. I'll also be hosting a tour of my system (outdoor, DIY greenhouse, ~250 gallons) for a Maryland gardening club sometime in January. Hopefully by then I will have completed enclosing the greenhouse(!) and installing my planned solar and rocket mass heaters.</p>

<p>Hi! Disaster and everything died in October, but we're starting over in the basement. We're using Tupperware tubs. We were growing lettuce.</p>
<p>What kind of fish do you have? We're Liz and Brian in Annandale.</p>

<p>That's odd. I didn't see a friend request... How's the transition going? Does the shed have light?</p>

Thanks for the response Levi! I believe Eco City Farms is interested and will message you shortly. (I just spoke with them.) As I am working with them, I look forward to meeting you and seeing your system!

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvFKVnj3Lr4"></a>I was going to build a greenhouse around it for the winter, but I have to leave town for all of Jan and Feb and Im worried something might go wrong (since ive never built such a thing before). Does anyone know of, or have a heated greenhouse where it can live for the winter and keep running, or someone that might be interested in taking on the project for a while. It doesn't take much work at all, basically just feed the fish once a day. And make sure nothing has gone wrong.</p>

<p>I am actually trying to do the same thing. I've been working with a few people here, conducting research, and making some connections to that end. Please add me as a friend on here and then we can follow-up offline through email.</p>

<p>Hi Reuben,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm in the DC area and have a nice family-sized system in my back yard. I work near Capitol Hill and would be interested in talking with you more about this. I'll e-mail you directly - Ciao!</p>
