Mark is your Aquaponics all inside of the Green-house?
When I built my house I added an indoor arboretum that is totally surrounded by rooms so the only part exposed to the outdoor environment is the ceiling/roof which incorporates 5 skylights. Also included is 2 sun-tubes and a bunch of T-5 lights. Room is 14'L X 8'W X 21'H and is home to 6 Banana plants a little over 18 months now. My 9 pipe NFT system is on the first floor and the fish are in the basement. The biggest problem is the Arboretum stays at 70*F in winter @ 65% RH and in the summer does not get above 75*F. Thus, Banana plants grown much slower.

Looking for up-dates to your Green-house.
