We decided (Management decision) to expand our system. Several reasons, first being there was next to no cost involved as we already owned several concrete water tanks which were not in use and secondly to allow for two tanks giving a bit more flexibility for faih amanagemtn. i.e. two tanks better than one. If we have more spare we would have used them as well. Anyway thankful for what weve got.
In expanding we used the existing fish tank as our main settlement tank and continued using existing settlement tank as well.
Results for water quality. Testing scheduled for this afternoon but this mornings visual observations, water in fish tanks is clear, settlement tank a bit of floating debris but not much. Think it is some of the first fish food after relocating the fish and also poo. Bio tank is cristal clear.
Small tank has two dead fish yesterday and three today. They only went in 2 days ago so thats not so surprising.
System is now 2 X 1000 litre tanks.
Settlement Tank 1 1000 litres
Settlement Tank 2 250 litres
Bio Tank Tank 1 250litres
Deep Raft Grow beds 12 meters x 0.9 x 0.3 Approx 3,000 litres
All go.
