I have a hydroponic setup. I'm also thinking about converting it to an aquaponics system. My issue is sourcing the fish.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

I'd say that the space underneath is about 20' -ish at the highest point, 3' at the lowest. There's about 2 1/2' between the ground and the panels, at the lowest point of the day.
