Talapia Heat tolorence

[Aaron Parker]

Hello,

.  I currently purchased an IBC container to use for aquaponics. I live in Florida in the Tampa area, where it gets pretty hot in the summer. Has anyone had any trouble with the fish getting overheated.  The top of the fish tank will be covered with the grow bed.  I was planning on putting shade cloth around the sides to help keep the sun off of the tank. Thanks for any advice.

Can you also cover the top, tent like, with the shade cloth?
