Gary - I've reread your original post several times. What is the ACT? Here
in the states, it's the code for a college preparedness exam.
I'm wondering at what stage of development your co-op is. Although we know
that hydroponic growers have found it wise to form co-ops for their specific
areas, this is the first aquaponic co-op we've heard of. Have you many
growers? Should we extend an additional invitation for them to join the
mail group?
What specific infrastructure is in place to handle the process and transport
capabilities you mentioned? We're most interested.

ACT is Australian Capital Territory, their equivalent to our District of
Columbia or DC. Canberra is located in the ACT. Beyond that, I can't help.
