Nice setup! I like the idea about the egg tumbler...

Thanks egg tumbler was not as fancy as ones I have seen. But it did the job. I released my first ever batch of Fry into the tank last night. They are doing fine. I have lost a few but I would put mortality on this flock/school at 80%. Real happy with the results.
Thanks for the comments.
I built another sysem at my buddies house last night. Pretty close to mine. I am taking him some fish today and he should be off and running.

Very nice system!

What is the egg tumbler for? (for tumbling eggs, DUH! but no seriously...)

Bought Greenhouse today. Pick up Saturday. More photos and updates Sunday. Will be up a ready for winter in 4 days.

A female tilapia, is constantly moving the eggs, she is holding in her mouth, until they hatch.
People try to collect the eggs before they hatch. That way, the female goes back to eating a lot sooner.....maybe a couple weeks.
The 'tumbler' takes over the 'moms' job of taking care of the eggs.

OH, that makes a lot of sense... it seems painfully obvious now... LOL
