Sir soft777, my fingerlings are just 3 weeks old and they are about 40000 pieces and I just poured them on my15*15 feet earth pond.before month end, they post fingerings so that I can stock just 5000pieces. Please I plan to use recirculatery system on the two Tarpolin pond with size 6*36 feet and 4 feet depth.I have just three big tanks for the recyclatery system but I don't know where to buy the remaking component like bio filter, UV system, aerator, and so on. Please can I come and visit your farm to get a first hand info on how to set my own recirculatory system or u can refer me to an expert for a fee.
You dont hav to pay a fee sir , to get information , its free.. If you want a ready made biofillter you can call kingdom aquarium i guess he has , but if u want an installed type which can carry any capacity ,we can instal and render the service from febuary sir thank you

Cover you vats at all times, if you have an indoor hatchery increase its temperature with bulbs etc.. Feed less

How easy will it be to siphon the dirt out on the top deck?

Its the same process, we use a long hose to draw out the dirt.. The height of the vat is little just above the stomach.. Though we have minimum dirt because we do round the clock flow through, dirt hardly stay..

THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR, WILL BE A REVOLUTION IN AGRICULTURE IN NIGERIA AND WE ARE PROUD THAT WE ALL ON THIS FORUM WILL BE THE FIRST TO START AND BENEFIT :WATCH OUT 2016 WILL BE GREAT FOLLOW UP THE TREND DONT BE LEFT OUT !!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS

Indeed next year will be a great year for everyone of us especially we the fish farmers.. We will be embarking on a project by January which i will alert the house soonest.. Its going to be tough, but we will surely conquer.. The revolution is now, no need waiting for the government to do something we have to explore ways by doing things differently to achieve a far more better result.. In advance countries they keep doing research, fact findings to do things efficiently.. We cant keep doing the same thing over and over.. The world is evolving and we need to transmogrify along with it.. Before the end of this month i will alert the house on our next project..

It's important you have a water heater and thermometer or just get an aquarium heater.

The latency time between injection of hormone and stripping is temperature dependent and that's where most people get it wrong. They may have been told strip 8 hrs after injection, what they don't tell you is that the 8hrs is latency time is for when the water temperature is 28 degrees Celsius,which is our average water temperature here on a good day. But during harmattan, the water temperature is usually lower, so latency time may increase so 8hrs will be too early and you will get bad results.

Remember the rule of thumb is that it's always better to strip too late than too early. But best to strip at the correct latency time based on water temperature.

Then also apply what Robonski said, and you should be good.

Dear Ronboski, I am from Abuja. I made booking 4weeks ago for 3000 fingerlings and the man in charge said that they would be ready by 1st week in December. However when my hubby called made the call Mr. Kilani said 2nd week. So my hubby called again and he said the fingerlings would be available in 2weeks time and we should make deposit. Now the problem isn't the deposit but the supply time. We are prepared and waiting another 2 weeks .... well please help solve this problem. Thanks.

In water recycle system as in the case , with nigeria, light is not guarantee.
I will advice you have a tank , not that you cant do it direct ,but with a tank ,it does 4 major things , it helps send fresh water to your system by gravity even if you have no light , there by saving cost of energy , secondly , from time to time this cycle system still need additional 10 percent top up of fresh water to cover the loses due to evaporation . Thirdly it help your water settle better by adding little treatment to the tank in case you have very high or low ph. fourthly it helps save more time for the beneficial microb in your biofillter to work actively to break down the amonia properly before releasing same cycled water to your pond . So with these points its very very important to have a tank GOOD LUCK

Hello, we are sorry about your order it was made with the former manager, the first batch has been shipped out to people that booked in advance with cash.. The mistake he made was not informing you from the onset that an advance amount is needed for the sales dept to record your order and deliver on time, of which we have made it mandatory ... we are deeply sorry for this inconvenience.. How best can i reach you to follow up on your order??
