New system

[Michael Anthon]

My wife and I have just completed building our system.  Our system consists of 44 3x8 media beds, 2 3x16 raft beds, 2 3x8 sump tanks, 1 150 gal sump tank, and 1 450 gal fish tank.  We built all of this inside a 24 x 48 ft greenhouse.  My first question is:  What fish should I use.  We live in Southern New England.

The most popular for aquaponics seems to be Tilapia because they are hardy, grow fast, and breed fast and easy. However, you may want to go with something more suitable for your area so you don't have to heat the water.
