Hi Everyone. I am in South Florida around Ft Lauderdale. I was thinking of some type of grow out system using natural sunlight
and having the growout pool/tubs enclosed in a wooden structure with an acrylic clear top. I was also thinking of making it small enough that a 5000 or so btu ac unit could cool this "house"
and obviously a heater for our very short winter. I am looking for any feedback on this. Im not even sure if its a viable idea. I have the property to make almost anysize I want. I am not looking to start out to large. I was thinking of around 150-250 gallons in a rubbermaid type tubs. The sun is verrry hot here and it stays pretty warm for 10 months out of the year. Do you think an ac unit would be sufficient?

ANY thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated..
