I just want to say, Im super excited to have found this series. I cant wait to see how you fared. Anyway just wanted to say hello n thx for this content.
Instead of connecting the two barrels with a "FIXED" valve between, flexible rubber pipe could be better used with clamps for easily removing at the time of cleaning the two barrels.
I had matalla mats in the skimmer and filter of my koi pond. They work pretty good for filter media. you can use $dollar store mesh bags and plastic strapping ( like they use with shipping boxes) as filter media. works great.
This is looking like a very interesting little project. I really like the idea of no head pressure on your pump, that should help it last much longer I would think ... What about using a jigsaw to cut your filter material? It might be a little more accurate for your measurements, just a thought. Looking forward to the next update on this one! Happy harvests!
I've never actually measured it but theoretically, tilapia have a feed conversion ratio of 1.8 to 1 which means that for every 1.8 pounds of feed in, you should yield 1 pound of fish. So if I stock 20 fish and harvest at 2 pounds each, that's 40 pounds of fish x 1.8 FCR = 72 pounds of feed.

Great job. I used the Matala Mat (Grey) in my mechanical filter. I cut it with a pair of tin snips. Accurate cutting! Looking forward to the next one.
A 5 gallon bucket with drill holes was hold those filters.

that is a really well thought out design. I might use it! Thanks!
Can't wait to see it in action! Looks good so far!
They are easy to clean with a garden hose with a spray nozzle, as long as you have a paved area to set them on.

what is the twine biofilter and how do you make it?
Know it's been a couple of months, but did your frame want to float?
Its excellent.
Appreciate your sharing your ingenuity with us !
I like your job

Thanks for the jigsaw tip, I'll try that when I get the next two mats. Steve
uv light
It is also expensive not viable for business
why not use round buffer pads?
williamwhittom I use the floor buffi g pads in a 150 gallon Rubbermaid water tank. This works great for my 1000 gallon koi pond.
looks great
sorry my english is not good. would you mind tell me the detail size of the barrel, i want to follow this at home too
nice video
keep teaching i'm still learning GOD BLESS
Like wise with this video I can be able to
raise fish farm at Home
Pls. a Question; the warter is potable?
What brand/type of barrel do you use? Where do you purchase?
Nice videos and thank you for sharing your knowledge but I wanted to know how much fish food you use from start to end.

What camera are you using? I'm not sure about anyone one else but on my side everything seems to shift sometimes? Is it a 360* camera?
It's an artifact of video stabilization software used when editing the video. It reduces the shakiness, but warps the footage.
OOh and the extra bits I used in my moving bed Biofilter...
wowow ameging best
Maybe, drill some holes in the frame and attach the drain to it?
More content please
So how many fishes lets say tilapia would fit in that55 gallon
