Just finishing 12' x 24' backyard greenhouse - got it enclosed over the weekend. Will be installing & filling fishtanks, grow-beds, & aux thermal storage in the next couple of weeks. Plan to install fish in early Spring if able to maintain suitable water temp with solar only.
Your green house looks great. Aren't cattle panels the best thing?
My son and I are looking into doing aquaponics in the Springfield area. Do you have Tilapia for sale? If not, where is the closest place to buy? Thanks for your help.
Hi Allen i just came across your page in the group Your greenhouse looks great I never would have imagined that one could be built as you have done yours.I have began to get intereted in Aquaponics + we homeschool out 2 grandsons that live with us. And thought this would be a very good thing/project to get involved them in. We were wondering if sometime if we might be able to come by and see your progress on this and your system.We live in Collins Mo. and dont get to Springfield often. Your name sound familar to us but cant place it we use to live in Springfield. Ok Well hope to hear from you thanks Stu-n-Sonya

Hi Allen,
Where did you purchase your tanks at and how much did they cost?
Thanks Shelia
Welcome :-)
Thank you for sharing. Did you paint the tank? If yes, what did you use?
Your greenhouse project is very exciting!
