Wed 15 Apr

Today I went shopping for a pump, I have settled for a Aquapro AP3000. Cost was approx $80. The pump runs at 75 watts and will pump 3000lts per hour, but the height I want to pump maybe 750lts per hour, needing approx 350ltrs per siphon I should be able to get 3 well spaced flushes per day. 120 watts per day, supplied through a 80 watt solar panel. Hopefully the battery should stay well charged. I will have to go and purchase the pipework maybe $20 worth to pipe it from the fish tanks to the top tank and will test the flow rate and adjust as required.

  3. In practice, tilapia are the most popular fish for home and commercial projects that are intended to raise edible fish because it is a warmwater aquaponics fish tank species that can tolerate crowding and changing water conditions.
