Thanks boss! How many litres is the tank? Or how many adult fish can one contain?


Not sure about the number of fish, because I'm just like you, I'm about to start still yet to decide if it's more valuable than the tarpaulin, but I'm certain is a 1000l tank.

Someone said here that an adult catfish needs an average of 15l of water. Going by that, it can contain about 67 adult catfish.
The tarpaulin pond of about 25,000l I saw on www.benuwatts.com is abt 59k. But I am doubting the genuineness of the company. Since all their transactions are done online, I am afraid of loosing my hard-earned cash.

Thanks please what do you used in washing the tank, I'm a little concerned because it was used for biocide, doesn't it pose a health risk for fry and larvae? Because I'm thinking of going into hatchery
wash it with detergent, then soak poultry waste in the tank for like 3 days or soak leaves inside the tank and allow it to decay

GOODNEWS! GOODNEWS!!GOODNEWS!!!!!!!
Are u a farmer(plant,fish farmers) or inteding farmer or you know farmers? Have you heard of the WONDERFUL DROP?
SUPER GRO ORGANIC FERTILIZER
Super Gro is a very wonderful natural liquid fertilizer which has now been brought to your doorstep to ensure the enhancement of your crops and agricultural productivity both in quality and quantity. It is a natural fertilizer that will increase your agricultural yield more than three times of what you do obtain from that of synthetic or chemical fertilizer that you are used to.
Super Gro is a product of NEOLIFE, a company that specializes in natural and nutritional health products for human and plants. It has been a wonderful experience for the users of these fantastic products.
Super Gro is a 100% organic liquid fertilizer, which is made from poultry droppings and sea bird guano. Being made from organic matter with absolutely no chemicals added to it, it is 100% safe to use on any vegetables and of course the rest of your garden. Super Gro can be applied to any plant, tree, vegetable and even grass that require fertilization.
Super Gro was started about fifteen years ago on the West Coast of South Africa. Its main ingredient being seabird guano gets collected from eight different sites along the West Coast under supervision of the South African Nature Conservation, to ensure that all of the birds and their nesting sites stay protected and minimal disturbance takes place. After the guano is dried
Tests done on this product reflect the following composition of macro and micro elements;
• Nitrogen (N) 72g per litre (Macro)
• Phosphorus (P) 45g per litre (Macro)
• Potassium (K) 30g per litre (Macro)
• Sulphur (S) 15g per litre (Macro)
• Calcium (CA) 9g per litre (Macro)
• Magnesium (MG) 7g per litre (Macro)
• Iron (FE) 5mg per litre (Micro)
• Iodine (IoD) 3mg per litre (Micro)
• Marine Salt (MS) 1mg per litre (Micro)
• Zinc (Zn) 1mg per litre (Micro)
Super Gro, as the name suggests, is the most wonderful natural liquid fertilizer ever produced for agro industry. It is meant for the purpose of growing crops and plants in order to add much value to them. This is to ensure that agricultural productivity is enhanced both in quality and in quantity. Super Gro Liquid Fertilizer being natural in essence means that it is devoid of chemical input which makes it different from the conventional chemical fertilizer that we all know. The advantages of Super Gro Natural Liquid Fertilizer over the Chemical Fertilizer are numerous and very great.
Because crops and plants depend so much on water, Super Gro is meant to improve the quality and quantity of water as required by these crops and plants for wonderful growth and production by adding the essential nutrients they require for that purpose. No wonder, Super Gro helps you make the most use of water: water, one of the basic fundamentals of life itself. Water, good quality water, is an issue of such importance that governments, states, provinces and major suburban areas around the world have created agencies to ensure its long-term

Surfactants are wetting agents that are used in several ways:
As emulsifiers to disperse oils.
As wetting agents, to lower surface tension.
As dispersing agents, to reduce adhesion between particles of chemicals, so
they will spread and remain in solution longer.
Features of Super Gro
Super Gro is a multi-purpose surfactant.
It makes water "wetter".
Specifically formulated to be effective, economical and versatile.
Easy to use.
Long shelf life.
Tolerates extreme temperature variations.
Safe to use indoors and outdoors.
Non-toxic, non-caustic and non-flammable.
It improves the absorption of nutrients.
Advantages of Using Super Gro
Because Super Gro makes water wetter, it increases soil penetration and retention.
Because Super Gro makes water to be wetter, it helps to retain the water under the soil much longer which ensures that the soil continues to be wet even in dry warm weather, which also makes the crops/plants maintain their evergreen outlook and growth during dry season (drought).
Biodegradable - leaves no harmful residue on the products of the crops and plants.
Super Gro being natural does not have chemicals that could leave any harmful residue on the soil, unlike other types of fertilizers…
It does not adversely alter soil pH.
Reduces watering time, by reducing run-off and evaporation.
It increases plant and crop yields - increased maximum production is assured.
It is highly concentrated and, therefore, very economical - a little quantity goes a very long way.
It is user-friendly, environment-friendly and nature-friendly.
It acts as a sticker on plants because it has internal ability to absorb solar energy and gum it to the plant for efficient and maximum production.
The crops and plants will have greener and healthier outlook at all times and at any
weather.
It enables farmers save a lot of time - a minimum portion of land produces maximum output (maximum yield).
It enables farmers save a lot of money - a minimum input produces maximum output (maximum yield).
It ensures uniformity of crops/plants and their seeds/products.
The Use of Super Gro for Fruits & Crops
It is quite suitable for the cultivation of crops like:

Vegetables, Pepper, Onions, Tomatoes, Beans, Maize, Soya-beans, Groundnut, Potatoes, Cassava, Yam, Cabbage, Carrot, Coco-yam, Okro, Banana, Plantain, Wheat, Rice, Millet, Water-Melon and a host of other crops.

5ml of Super Gro with 5 litres of clear water.

And so on.
Then agitate gently and spray on the leaves and stem/base of the crops/plants. Apply the same thing every 2 weeks, or every 3 week or once every month as you may desire. It is very important that you do this before the crops/plants start to sprout flowers.
The Use of Super Gro for Plants, Trees and Cash Crops

Cocoa, Cashew, Mango, Orange, Oil Palm, Pawpaw, Kola-nut, Pineapple, Rubber and a host of other plants and cash crops.

Maybe the first 2-3 days you can give live nauplii, and later on shellfree. If you can get your hands on a closed can of Ocean Nutrition Shellfree, don't hesitate, they are by far the best at the moment.

Nauplii are hatched live artemia, shellfree are artemia eggs/cysts with the shell removed, so fish larvae can eat them.

Looks like decent formulas. What type of Vitamin C you use? You might consider adding a bit of all-in vitamin premix. Also closely watch quality of your ingredients for spoilage (aflatoxins through moulding, or fat oxidation).
