Hobby Greenhouse Aquaponics Systems

Anyone on the front range doing a hobby system in a greenhouse year round? I am looking for ideas to control humidity, especially on the cold winter days when I can not open things up. The condensation is starting to cause issues.

Received only crickets...

Purchased a used de-humidifier to try out this winter. Concerned over the power consumption but might try to support with solar and only run when the sun is shinning.

As far as your other questions, I have had really good success with trout. I only have to heat the water minimally in the winter, and because my sump and one extra tanks are below ground, I don't get water temps above 65 in the summer.

If willing, I am always interested in seeing other systems and greenhouses, and can offer my two cents. I work for a small greenhouse manufacturing business in Golden and am a hobby greenhouse geek.
