Hi all,
I just joined the forum and I am loving these backyard and DIY systems people are posting, a lot of creative people here. Thanks for the inspiration!
about me:
I got into aquaculture a few years ago when I student taught a technology explorations class. At the time the school had a 600 gallon recirculating system. Since then I have kept up interest and kept the idea on the back burner until I had my own home. Well I just purchased a house last fall and decided to finally get into gear. I bought a 130 gallon tank of of CL and picked up a 100 Blue Tilapia fry 2 weeks ago. Last Thursday I ran into the teacher who was in charge of the aquaculture lab at the school I worked at and he told me that he had gotten bumped to a different position and had to disassemble system :cry: and asked me if I knew anyone who might be interested in some Red Claws. I of course told him I was and that I had just gotten some Tilapia. So today I went and helped him disassemble some components and came home with a cooler full of crays to add to my tank. I was able to get 6 adults, 2 male 4 female, and about a dozen juveniles :D . One of the females is already prego so I will setup an isolation tank for her. I'll try to get some pics up and start a thread when I get the chance, until then I'll just be asking questions ;)
