    Building my 1st system

    I'm on the beach in Cape Canaveral, Florida. I'm putting together my first system with a 330 gal IBC & a 275 gal IBC. The 330 gal will be the fish tank & will hold approx 300 gal of water & the 275 has been cut to make (2) 18" deep grow beds. I'm using river pebbles as the grow medium. I'm thinking of raising hybred stripped bass & need to know where in Central Florida is the best place that I can get fingerling stripped bass & fish food in bulk.

    welcome walt, i don't know much about hybrid striped bass, base your fishload on the amount of filtration you have

    good luck, we like pic's!

    after you click on "post reply" there's a button under the message area that says "Browse", that will let you browse to a file and select it on your pc, then click upload, i'm not sure but i think the size limit is 800x600
    or if you have your pictures online already, put in the http path to the pic, highlight it, then click on the "img" button

    I'm not sure about using hybrid striped bass in your area. They are not very fond of warm water for long durations.
