A buddy who had his tank 4 foot under ground faired much better then I did.

This I under-appreciated. While it is So Cal, Tilapia are still warm water fish. I had to install heaters to maintain the temp. So far, I think my avg cost for lettuce is like 29.99 a head and at this pace... tilapia at $85 per pound.
Kinda like kayak fishing. So much cheaper/efficient for me to buy fish at the market! BUT not nearly as fun!
Waiting for someone to come up with a salt tank set up with WSB and Halibut.
