Please tell us something else about yourself.
I work for West Virginia University's Extension Service. Currently we are working on developing a flow through system culturing trout, that also functions aquaponically. The long term goal of the project is to not only find additional profits for West Virginia trout farmers, but also to improve our waste water's quality. We aim to have a net zero effect on use of spring water.

    Hi Matthew,

    the greenhouse film is an ETFE-film, available under the trade name F-Clean from Asahi Glass Greentech in Japan. I have a good friendship to the F-Clean product manager of Asahi Glass. If you are interested, I can organize a collective order - other Aquapons are interested too.
