Thanks for your comment!

Aquaponics actually works better in hotter places. You do need to account for the heat (you'll lose more water to evaporation, and cold-loving plants and fish won't do well), but since a customer in Texas would know their climate beforehand, that can all be taken into design.

That includes minimizing potential equipment failure by correctly placing it in the shade, etc.

Super, that's cool to know. I can honestly say my backyard garden surprised me with how crazy mint, arugala, lettuce and tomatoes were able to grow. If the aquaponics system can also help conserve water - always a concern in this region in spite of last year's record soaking and lake filling - that's another great environmental and cost benefit to the user. Thanks for the info!
