Jim, I notice your wood burner exits directly out of the GH. I built a separate closet to accommodate my incinerator and found I was loosing most of the heat. I decided to loop the duct work into the GH with a fan blowing down on it. Works great! I'm going to lengthen the GH this summer and move the incinerator to one end and run the exhaust through the rafters to the other end to capitalize on all the heat. Even thinking about running water through the ducts to heat the tanks (in tubing off course). Hope the attachments work. Haven't figured out how to create a library for pics here.

That's what kept us growing down to 20 below. Winter crops did very well and the trout grew to 18". We love Winter gardening. Should have been doing for years.

Keith, This was my first winter(not a good one to start) and I built a small GH and kept going. Fish production was good. Veggies grew but didn't produce. I've actually stopped trying to do any breeding. Don't have anywhere to put them but I have plans. Have 2 IBC totes for fish now. The fingerlings are in one and the 5 originals are in the other/sump tank. Fish seem to grow well in there. I have 1 3x4 GB. Just picked up 3 more IBCs for expansion this summer. I think I have a handle on how I'll expand the GH and control winter temps. Do you shut down in the winter.

Well Keith next time you're in the west Detroit area and need some fish give me a shout or just drop by and say hi. I'm visiting in N.C. this week and did a tour of another guys operation yesterday. First system I've ever seen besides my own. BTW what did you pay for your fingerlings?

Jeff, I found them about 70 miles from me for about $1 each for what was supposed to be 2-3 inchers.

Thanks for the effort Jim. Guess the next thing to do is figure out how to ship them...alive.

So here's a screen dump of that ad:

Sorry but that link doesn't work so just go to Ebay and do a search. Can't test links until posted here and can't edit them if they don't.

Another goat just born. The fun never ends around here.
No idea of price but I bet a Google search will answer that real quick. Check on Ebay as well. Ebay makes selling so easy it never ceases to amaze me. When a siphon order comes in I can have it in the mail in 5 minutes. I love it. And when I need something I can find it and have it paid for in about 1 minute thanks to Paypal.
$4,000.00-

BTW what are Tilapia fingerlings worth?
