@William I caught all 27 of my catfish in a matter of days by making something similar to a crayfish trap.  But it needs to be solid and dark inside rather than made of wire, but I did put a few small drain holes in it.  I pulled it up several times a day and almost always had a few inside.

I have a few catfish fingerlings in my garden pond. Any tips or tricks to trap them?

I have 4 BGs  draining into an IBC buried so the water falls about 12 inches to 36 inches depending on water level at the time so it is turbulent. I just put some goldfish into my tank and they are doing fine. Is this water fall going to put enough oxygen in the water to keep larger catfish alive?

Albino catfish are excellent for Aquaponics. I think they are just channel cats with recessive genetics. When I got my channel cats from my fish dealer, there were quite a few albinos in the tank. If you provide them with enough shade they should do fine.

I have a pond that isn't for aquaponics. I have 2 albino catfish, that turned into a having multiple little cat fish. Can I use the Albino Cat fish for Aquaponics

I would suggest you get up and running your first season with just the catfish and track your temperatures to help you figure out how many BTU's you will need to deal with for chilling the trout water.  You really need to have a lot of water flow through a trout tank to keep them happy and it may be hard to chill the water enough at that kind of flow rate for trout depending on what your high water temps are likely to be naturally.  Seeing as you are in CA, your climate may be dry enough for evaporative cooling to be of some help to you as well but that means you need lots of good source water to handle topping up that kind of evaporation of you design to get much cooling out of it.

I was going to mix both waters into same swirl/bio filter to warm them up for the plants,than return to the same sump ( in ground concrete epoxy coated fish safe ) than trout water to freezer / refer to ft . cats straight from sump. it only get around 75* to 80* in the mid summer here. my towers are only 4' pipe with no meda, barrels will be only meda 10 1/2 barrels total. in construction stages " all feed back welcome "
