To get the best result in a recirculatory system, you need to combine bio filtration with sedimentation. Sedimentation removes the coarse materials coming from the water which includes the fish poo and left over food. Durante sells plastic bio filtration and sedimentation equipments. They are cheap and effective. I have seen them. For all your fish farming resources, download the PDF file from this site. It is prepared by USAID

Good job, I noticed two pillars on both side of the pond which is very good to avoid collapse.. make sure all the blocks are filled with concrete and well matched down. For drainage channel all pipe at the back of the pond close to the face, do aittle drainage and lookout for where the water can be channeled to.

While plastering make the pond sloppy towards the drainage for easy flow of water while flushing .

JuveFarms:

In addition, while constructing the drainage pipe ensure that the pipe is slightly above the base of the concrete to avoid 100% drainage of water. This is so because incase of accident leakage overnight, there will be little water left to keep the fishes not too stressed. Tnx

Dear Forumites ekasan ( Good afternoon) and happy sallah celeb in arrears, I would not fail to recognize the presence of the major contributors in the thread oga Robonski, Ab1x, et al.....Weldone guys .....may God keep increasing you in wisdom and knowledge...
Please guys I don't know if there are people in here who have experience in Poultry farming, my hubby and I have some cockerels we are raising for Xmas, we feed them with the remains of local feeds used in feeding our fish ( dust), believe me the birds are so grown now that u hardly believe they're three months old, and there's not been any case of mortality, Now we have just acquired some set of 4 weeks broilers for Xmas sales, I will like to find out if we can feed the broiler chicks with dust owing to the fragility of the birds, cos we have heard the presence of blood meal in the local feeds meant for fish can cause death in the chicks....
..
N.B oga Robonski I'm sorry for derailing the thread a bit, I only want to find out from people who have experiences in both poultry and fish farming...Thanks

At the initial stage, please use the normal feed to rear them when they are still small. As time goes by you could give them the dust from the local feeds however to be on a saver side, add oxytetracycline to the dust. Peradventure, there is any disease in the blood meal, the drug is capable of taken care of it.

Nice work bro, i look forward in working with you soonest.

Fhemmmy:


Could you give sample of your prices here?

cintia:


The engineer have given out the plumbing work and it will start in no time. Maybe i will contact u in the second phase . where are u based, i will really appreciate your expertise advice on achieving a sound plumbing work for this pond. Thanks

cintia:


Thanks for the compliment. The farm site is at Nkwelle ezunaka, Anambra state.Borehole will be dug, Drainage will be a challenge cos the place is not yet developed. The farm is mine as hubby said o. keep your ideas coming

ayosat:

Good work going on there , I wish you good success . my little contribution is that :
* make sure the plastic pipes used for drainage is the big type. Ie that type used for sewage.
* make sure that the pond floor slopes towards the drainage pipes buried at the edge of the pond, so as to allow total drainage.
* make sure that cement use is well sufficient. Let them not manage especially the cement to be used in the inner covering of the pond should be high, it will make it last .
* make your gutter layout that can accommodate all the ponds to be built both now and the future.
* have a map of where the overhead tanks is going to be that can supply your ponds with water in any emergency need .
* have a place designed for the Iya eleja... Market women so they don't come too close to your ponds. For safety reasonsreasons
That's my 1kobo suggestion you can also take the pictures as a guide( plus or minus as you want)
