| Post subject: | Building My First System |
Hi, I'm building an outdoor herb garden system this summer with 25 Tilapia powering it. I live in New York State, so I'm hoping to have the system active from May to the end of September before it gets too cold outside. I don't think my tilapia will be fully grown by the end of the season, but I'm growing more for the plants right now. The fish will come later when I can set up some type of 3 season greenhouse or move things inside. Glad to be here! Hope to learn a lot and contribute where I can. |

Welcome to the forum Peter. I think you're right about the Tilapia, maybe you can overwinter some of them indoors to keep your stock going. |

Yeah I'm thinking you are to far north for Tilapia. I'm in a non heated greenhouse in Virginia and don't believe I can do Tilapia. I have overwintered blue gills and I have gold fish in there now. If you have a heated green house you might can do it. Or heat the water. |

I'm heating the water, but just to extend the season. Over winter is too much. Maybe next year... |
