@P3achJ3lly1233 - I want to be able to produce a significant portion of my family's protein and vegetables. I have no commercial plans, though it might be fun to try.
@bravo24601 - I understand that just covering your garden with a tent of plastic increases your "zone" by one level - so I imagine that a standard greenhouse in New England would at least do that. New England states are in zone 3,4,5 and 6 - I am in zone 6. If you raise plants that are good for your zone and the season (taking onto account the increased zone from the greenhouse) you should be OK. The trick is keeping the fish warm enough.
Your doing essentially exactly what I want to do. Is this just a hobby for you or do you have any future prospects with aquaponics?

Hey Tim, what state do you live in? Do you know if a greenhouse such as this would be functional in a new england winter?

I have bubblers running in the float bed - I saw a fish bubbler at the thrift store - I may need to go grab that up...

Looks good... My Fish tanks seem to clear up faster now that I have added bubblers in the fish tank. Might give that a try.
