I'm exploring the possibility of a double-walled high tunnel (or more preferably a walipini, but my water table is high, so I might be stuck with an above-ground structure).  I'm looking for a thermal mass solution that could serve multiple purposes.  If it could work, I love the idea of adding an aquaponics system or maybe just a simple fish pond in the unheated but insulated grow space, which could support local fish without a heater and also help to retain solar heat in the growing space during the day, and release it at night.  Is this a pipe dream?  I'm in zone 6, Indiana.  My motivation for wanting fish is to feed to my pet cats.  I am vegetarian, but they need meat to survive.  (I understand that not everyone shares my views on this, but fish are the only animals I think I could possibly slaughter.  I keep chickens already and they are so amazingly smart and emotional, there's just no way.)  If I could get vegetables out of the same system, that would be even better.  I have access to virtually unlimited water and a solar power system.  Thoughts?  Suggestions?
