Snowed up here in NW Washington. Temps down to 20 degrees. Power, of course, went out. Glad we have a 37KW Kohler stand by generator set. Fish are fine. Will have fingerlings after Christmas for sale.

Thanks for the invite Phil.. I am afraid, at this stage and a month or 5 onwards, I will only be "riding along". Any longish term plans I had for building my Aquaponics system will now be on hold, as the house where I stay, is in the market. However, in the mean time, I am buying up stuff / equipment that I will need, once I start building my system. I am not really in the mood for a small "five fish" system, as I really would like to build and run a quality system from the start. Obviously with growing pains.. And in the mean time, I am learning from you guys.. Glad to be aboard, and hopefully will also start to contribute someday.

Welcome aboard Robert.

Robert I am in the middle of the heating wars now. I have found in the aquariums that 1-100 watt heater with several 50-wat heaters seems to work very well.
Most of my fish tanks are 100 gallon, one is 175(!) and a couple are 75 gallon. I have a couple 40 gallon isolation tanks.
Also I will be posting a ''mini'' commercial sales program that will allow the small commercial farmer and aquafarmer to bring in some income.

Robert-
I hope so too. I have a couple of DIY tank heater tutorials that I want to try this year. My 55-gallon indoors aquaponic set up with 10 black bullheads will probably be my testing tank. I'm sure they'll appreciate the bit of heat this winter, HA!
