    hi guys.

    im planning on building a greenhouse over my pond and aquaponics setup.

    Planning on using pvc for the build, and somehow some thick plastic...

    has any of you got some sort of green house?

    And what should i expect in water temperatures?

    Planning an enclosed system that will also keep wind etc out.

    Thanks
    Quintin

    hi @Fishlips
    I m planning the same thing to get ready for next summer, as far as my research goes it seems like you can expect 10-15 degrees warmer in the green house then outside temps and water looks like about 10 degrees cooler then the air temp inside the green house , as far as I can tell water volume seems to be very important as far as stable water temps go.
