Geothermal on a typical residential home has a super loooooong payback period. But for your purposes, and in a location with 105F degree swings in temp, it must have been a no-brainer. You're already will into the money on energy savings I imagine. Very smart.

Curious:
a) LED versus traditional MH / T5. You made this call due to which parameters? Temp control? Maintenance? Popularity of LED in the hobby?
b) Versus tropical latitudes, your light period varies much more. Do you / can you adjust for that? Or does the livestock just "deal with it"
c) Lastly, that is a lot of livestock. Do you also supply to distributors & LFS? I am the part time coral guy for my LFS, so always interested in livestock supply.
