Another newb here from Fort Worth. Just starting to research but will hopefully have some sort of system up by the summer.

hea andyo,

It's good to see another DFW area AP'er out there

RS, saw your reply under my post in the 'hardware' forum. Also saw the system you're working on...very nice. What part of N. Tx are you in, if you don't mind my asking?

I quess this counts, I live just out side of Hico, Tx but off Hy 67 between Stephinville and Glenrose. I have a Hico address and Stephinville telephone so I don't know where I live. If anybody would like to see my system just let me know. Jerry Littlefield

Checking in From ATX.

Sign up for http://www.meetup.com/austinaquaponic/ ... hopefully soon there will be people volunteering their systems for demonstration meetings and social gatherings.

I live in San Antonio and have a few items to start, but would like to meet up with others in SA to get ideas or swap items not being used or that could help others.

Give me a call

count me in now... I live a few minutes north of Dallas, in Allen

I think that a place called Ponds Across Texas is developing an aquaponics sytem. It is located near Decatur, Texas just about 40 miles NW of Fort Worth. I've seen the location and he has about 3000 Talapia and several 900 gal tanks with several 100 gal growbeds being setup. nothing growing at present, though. Still in construction.

I'm building three backyard systems at the moment.

Mine in Frisco has cycled with goldfish and minnows (although I really want to shift to Tilapia ASAP). The other two are in Dallas and Plano, although they're still under construction and dry at the moment.

Frank's Aquaponics is 1 mile north of Boyd, Texas and is a 40 X 85 foot greenhouse with 9 4 by 8 ft raft type growbeds up and running. There are two 900 gallon tanks stocked with Talipia and several other tanks filled with various ages of talipia. Anyone close to this location needs to take a look. Quite a good looking setup!

I live in the central Texas area. I have an ibc system in a greenhouse, seems to be running well. IF I could leave well enough alone.

Still making progress putting my systems together, and am picking up another IBC tote today. Yesterday I read (from multiple sources) that blue crab can be grown out in fresh water. My wife wants us to try that, so they'll end up being species #3 in addition to tilapia and freshwater prawns once everything is up and running.

Does anyone have any experience with blue crab? (Also, despite being in the DFW area, should I be asking this question in a different thread?)
