Small 8 x 10. This is my first greenhouse ever. I have zero experience with one. My wife asked me to start small and work my way up. She had on her good robe, so I said yes. I have visions of a really big one next year. Saving every penny for my grande. I almost finished it last night. 3 more hours of work and It will be up. Moving the tank and grow bed in tonight. I am going to build a solar heating system next weekend using a hot water circulation thing to help keep heating costs down. I will post pictures soon and ask for advise on my system. Thanks for the kind words.

Re: MY BACKYARD SYSTEM
Very cool krfoerster !
You may already know......don't use metal pipe with your heating system. Copper pipes, are NOT friendly to fish....

Right. Using copper in the collector then switching to PVC/Plastic after the pump. Going to use Glycol as the fluid to prevent freezing and failure. Excited to get it going. Lows here are now in the 40s. Don't want to break the bank on heating costs.

Re: MY BACKYARD SYSTEM
Here it is finally. Greenhouse is up and running. Finished a second growbed today. Sump is controled by an Arduino Microprocessor. Look me up on You Tube (krfoerster) for a video discription. Really proud how things are going. Pictures show my progress.
