If you found us through a referral or a newsletter, which was it?: Sylvia Bernstein and Naropa

If so, what type of system? (pick all that apply): A small group of us are working on designing a system for the Community Greenhouse at Naropa University. We are working on how to float a tank (fiberglass bathtub possibly ) within an existing 800 gallon tank to use as our fish tank. We need to start with a simpler design and eventually progress up to using the larger existing tank and a lot more of the greenhouse growing space.

Mainly, it's because of how busy we are, but also because Sylvia has proven herself to be extremely adversarial to us, sadly enough. Wish there were not so much ego involved in this tiny community, but there certainly seems to be. This is HER site, and I do not wish to tread upon her territory. Odd, since she and Murray attended our training in Florida (for no fee whatsoever), but whatever. And overall, the discussion on this site regarding Friendly Aquaponics is far from friendly. It's hard to want to hang out in a place where people are mean, and have lots of spare time to gossip....and I see no point whatsoever in responding to their attacks when there is far more important work to be done!

Much respect,
