one question - why do we need the tank on top with the flood valve?

roy replied to Sylvia Bernstein's discussion Fish Sources"Tilapia is restricted in Texas. Catfish too. Will need to do more research as to what is allowed or what it takes to get permits.

- Hi Roy,
Thanks for joining the Aquaponic Gardening community! I hope you find it a great place to explore aquaponics. I’ve started the ball rolling with a few general forum topics, and will try to add more on a regular basis, but I’m hoping that you and others will add your own topics as they occur to you. I’ve also added some of my favorite videos and a few random photos…again, please share your favorites with us!
We have just a few simple rules: stay on the subject of aquaponics and keep it cordial (no flaming!). If someone decides to break these rules they will get a warning, and then be banned from the community after that. But of course I’m hoping that never happens!
Thanks again for joining us, and I look forward to getting to know you.
Sylvia
