I have property that's about 35 miles south of Montgomery on HWY 331. That's where I do my building for my AP system. Now live in Orlando FL but come back up to the AL property about every 2 months for 2-3 weels. Anyone who wnats to come down to the AL location and to see how I set it up and how to run the system, let me know. I've had a system running for a couple of years. I use IBC totes. Can also build a custom system for you as well. Wood trim for tanks and growbeds. Slat lid for fish tank. Free standing metal frame(1" sq tube and 1 1/2" angle) for growbed above fish tank.

Next trip back to AL will be June 20th, 2014.
