DOES AQUAPONICS NEED A GREENHOUSE?
A greenhouse is not an essential part of an Aquaponics system, although it provides enormous protection for the system compared to being exposed to the elements (rain, hail, wind etc.). If you live in an area where it gets cold during winter, a greenhouse is needed for the protection of the fish and plants during the colder months. Aquaponics systems can also be set up indoors, using grow lights over the plants instead of using sunlight. This system uses more power than a greenhouse system due to the cost of running the lights.
