@dutch1999 I live in a climate where its cool enough for them for 10 months
of the year, which is enough to grow them out to ~30cm

@dutch1999 There are such things as water coolers just like there are water
heaters…

Are you using a pool? What are they in? And where do you live that the
climate is good for them, I’m in BC, Canada, would that work? Thanks!!

could you just bury the tank 3 feet down, a lot of work but it would keep
the water at a constant 50, no?

How many pools and how much watts do you consume for the pump mechanism?

I live in northeastern Ontario canada and would love to set up a aquaponics
system with trout in it. Where abouts are you located so i could compare
temperatures here. I would like to make my system out of a ibc tote.Would
it work? I cant grow outside during the winter and would it be too warm to
d it my heated garage? I was thinking of putting the ibc tote tank for the
trout out side and piping the water inside the house where i would grow
vegtables under a grow light. would this work?

Hello sjgemmell , I live in north eastern ontario, canada . I think your
system would work here. Where abouts are you? and what is your growing
time? aswell as average temperatures? Growing season here is from early
june to about the first part of september. Have you ever thought about
trying triploid rainbow trout? I once raised them in a large grow out pond.
They went fron under a pound to 5.5 lbs in 18 months. Wish I could find
them again 🙂
