Aquaponics Update Dec2014 title

We have had a fairly warm December, so we haven’t had issues with things getting too cold in the greenhouse. The aquarium heaters are keeping the water warm for both the plants & fish.

It is difficult to get a decent photo of the tilapia in the main fish tank. The tank is deep, so of course, the fish typically stay near the bottom. Also, the way our greenhouse is situated gives an awful glare on the water. However, I did manage to get 3/4 of this fish…

My geraniums are continuing to bloom in a gorgeous pink color, which looks especially nice in the winter.
