Hi Eric,
Were you doing aquaponics when you lived in BC? If so, what did you use for fish, and where did you get them.
Your pictures of your new set up looks awesome. Our little grow house is just is a setup model. If it all goes as good as we expect it will, my brother has 3 acres of gently sloping land. We envision several large grow houses on a tiered system. Gravity feed down from our huge fish ponds at the top. A large pump at the bottom to return water to the fish tank.

Hahaha, yes heating is definately an issue. We are looking into solar water heating to provide radiant heat for the grow house. We are also looking into off-grid ways of generating power as well. We have a desire to to be totally self sustainable eco friendly and organic.
