It was cloddy yesterday so the fish water started out cool and got cooler.
In the morning the fish water was 60F that is too cold for the fish. The greenhouse went to about 50F.
It was cold today but sunny I was able to heat the fish water up to 67F. That was pretty good.
If I did not have tilapia I would not need backup heat for the fish water. I will be installing my 1,000 watt 240V SS commercial heater. Even know NG hot water heat is so much more efficient I have been making more power then we use in a year I would rather use it to heat fish water that sell it to the power company for a whole sale price.

I have a monitoring system I will be installing shortly. It can monitor up to 6 items plus a power outage. It has alarms and a web interface. It will text and or email when there is an issue.
I tested it today it has tons of options.
When I trench for the gas line I will install conduit with cat 5 cable for the monitoring system.
Today’s tomatoes and the lettuce.
