Recirculating Systems

Recirculating systems are playing an increasingly important role in the world of aquaculture.  These systems are used by both educational and commercial growers alike throughout the United States.  Each of our packages is designed for years of use and come with all the necessary components needed to start raising fish.

The depletion of natural seafood stock along with the public's increased awareness of fish being a "health food" makes for a bright outlook on the aquaculture industry.   Education will play an important part in providing the work-force capable of developing this industry.  The following recirculating systems we offer are geared towards educational and research environments. 

The Aqua Farm 1

This compact recirculating system is ideal for educational applications.  This system uses cartridge filters for solids removal.  To clean, simply pull cartridges out and rinse clean and re-install.  Very little water is lost with this cleaning system.   After the water passes through the first two filters it then passes through a double cartridge filter that removes any remaining solidsa and then "polishes" the water as it passes through the carbon inserts.  The water then passes through a bio-filter before returning back to the tank.  The components of this system are simple and yet rugged enough to provide years of service.  For higher densities an optional four cartridge solids filter is available to increase time between cleanings.  

By using the optional UV sterilizer, 99% of disease causing micro organisms are eliminated as well as green algae cells!  The 300 gallon fish tank measures 65" diameter x 30" tall and will fit through a standard doorway.
