living in downtown Sacramento. Current set-up is mainly a "raft" system (a la Glenn Martinez's "trayponics" design) in 10' x 12' greenhouse. Planning on getting trout fingerlings 11/2012...

    Thank you for requesting ME as a friend. I tried to request you, but couldn't figure out how to do it. These types of sites drive me nuts (guess I'm too old for them). Glad we can connect this way too Paul!  Still working on preparing our system!

    Hi Paul, thanks for the welcome! My system is in the very early stages of construction, I didn't see a "pending" option when filling out my profile. So far I have the main tanks I'll be using, and the foundation to our greenhouse square and level. I'm picking up about 7-10 HDPE barrels this coming weekend for my grow beds. Looking forward to connecting and sharing ideas with you and the rest of the local aquaponic community!

    Thanks Paul. It's nice to know we have so many people interested in aquaponics in our area. I have two systems going. One at the school that I teach at (inside) and one in the backyard. Both systems are fairly recent and have fully cycled, but the plants are struggling. I think I have too many young plants and not enough large fish. As the systems mature I believe things will start to take off. Has that been your experience?

    Hi Paul, thank you. I will definately look at the Sacramento AP forum. Good to know there are people doing this locally. I am very, very new to this, I just finished building my system last week. Currently looking for fish locally, thats turning out to be the hard part. Any suggestions?
