Just Starting out in Dallas, TX

[oboeash]

Hello Everyone!

I'm excited to start my Aquaponic system here in Dallas, TX. I plan on starting small with a 50 gallon fish tank, two black grow beds, and a water pump. I am still in the planning process and appreciate all the posts in this forum. As the weather is a bit cold at the moment, do I need to wait a few months before I construct my habitat? The temperature averages 40-60 degrees at the moment so even the garage is a bit cool without an artificial heater?

Questions for you, the pros :

Anyone growing in Dallas, TX? If so, how and for how long?
Anyone using a smaller system with an old fish tank? If so, pictures or previous thread recommendations?
Anyone growing organic and selling to neighbors?

Thanks in advance to all! I look forward to learning and growing soon!!

Waco,Texas. Been at it sinceAugust. I found Tilapias have to have heated water. Catfish seem to tolerate cooler water. I am still experimenting with plants and grow medium with mixed results. Good luck!
