lookin good!! you have been bizzy !
Greg this is looking great and I can't wait to come by and see it in person. How many sq feet is your new place?
looking good there greg.. I am doing a big fry harvest today from my Niles and Wami/ Mozambique hybrids.. hoping to get around 10-12000 today, I have some big orders in the next weeks and have sold a lot it the last few weeks..
How much do you sell your fingerlings for? I am getting between 50 cents and 1 dollar for big orders over 1000 pieces and between 2.50 and 4 for small orders. Business is booming lately, just hope it stays busy..
love your new farm, you have put in a lot of work..
I will post some new videos soon.. keep us updated..
thanks, Paul

I would like to know how the pools r working for you, I live in the caribbean and the idea of using pools looks excellent
On your sump barrel you can install anothe uniseal about an inch above your "system on" water line. Run a pipe through it to a back up barrel. This way, in the event of a power outage, all the extra water volume in the pipes as well as the water that is above the "system off" water line just by effect of friction and back pressure holding it there has somewhere to go. The backup barrel will just sit there empty all the time, until the day comes that it is needed. Try filling your system up to max capacity while running,,, then pull the plug on your pump. You will QUICKLY see why this is VERY worthwhile. Also, when you need to add water to the system the backup barrel can multi task as a place to throw in a few airstones and off-gas the water before adding it into the system.
Good morning Greg! how often you feed the fish in a breeding colony? Does bigger female carry more eggs than smaller female or are they the same? Thanks
