I may have killed all my plants!!!

So.. I didn't cover my aquaponics last night. Had a 10 hour work day at the office and forgot to go pick up plastic to cover it. As you can see from the thumbnail, temps got low enough to freeze just about everything in the system. The rock is even solid right now. So, now it's a waiting game and hope that the kale and other cold hardy greens survived.

If they don't, I won't fret, I will chock it all up to a learning experience and continue to press on. I am getting a greenhouse within the next couple months to put up around my system which will help keep everything from freezing over completely. My hope is that I can bring the water temperature up high enough for the roots of the plants to be comfortable throughout the year.

Also, the big reason I didn't go with something like Tilapia, instead going with Koi, is because they can handle low temperatures like this a lot better. Though, they are outgrowing the system.
