David Owens said… Hello Two Jay,
I am in GR and am working on my 1st AP setup. Its a smaller setup with a hoophouse holding a dozen media beds and 2 raceways with 8 rafts for lettuce and things. Nice to meet you and see there are others up here in MI doing Aquaponics. Keep me posted on how you are doing-David

Growitright Aquaponics said… - Cool, I wouldn't have put the 2 together. Your system sounds ideal. We are pretty much in the same spot. We are working out the bugs in our system and using Koi and goldfish. We hope to have our larger up and running with an experimental hybrid version of growing power bunk beds.
