Schematics

Some Aquaponic Components

Here are two grow beds, sump and a fish tank

Greenhouse Footprint

A geometric consideration of the greenhouse footprint. The greenhouse would be a hybrid geodesic dome / shed. The semicircle would be translucent or transparent for the plants. The back of the structure, on the north side would have some kind of conventional roof.

Each section of the system can be treated as a subsystem that can be measured and modified in various ways. Temperature, and chemistry for example. In the garden side, would be Temperature, and humidity as another example.
