    hello from maryland

    Hey brand new to this aquaponics world, but I'm very interested. I'm wondering how to keep this alive through the winter if I were to make one?

    Welcome to the forum klewi....

    Some of the other guys do it in their basements.

    Essex/Baltimore. Yea I have just a crawl space so it eliminates the basement ideas. Outside is really my only option. Im definetly thinking a green house I'm just concerned about the electric bill in the winter. If possible I would like to be able to make it powered solar or something. I'm concerned about an economic collapse and want to be as self sufficient as possible

    That's a geodesic dome greenhouse. I love those things, most efficient I have found. What are your thoughts? I find either people like em or hate em.
