Hi Pat, I'm glad to meet you here.
I am wondering if it is possible for you to post some of your plans/ designs on this site to better help us understand what different systems are composed of.
Cheers

Hey Pat, my name is Brian Cheatham. I'm new to aquaponics but it has become my obsession. I'm a student at UNT and noticed you live in Waco. I was hoping to start a discussion with you and learn from some of your experiences since I will be experiencing the same climate challenges. I'm graduating this May and attempting to start a commercial operation immediately after. For now, I have a 250 gallon backyard flood and drain system which I built this fall just before it got cold. During the winter, I have an indoor system set up to save my fish and to experiment indoors. I would love to hear from you and find out local places to find good medium, fish, duckweed, etc. Thanks,
Brian
