Super impressive water clarity with such heavy feeding! well designed filtration, fair play to you! Do you do aquaponics with all those nutrients from the fish?
Thank you! i found hydroponics more effective than aquaponics when it comes on harvest but aquaponics really helps to get rid of nitrate for the fish to hv quality water.
I live in a permaculture ecovillage and one of our community goals is to be fully self sustaining and we raise our own animals naturally free range and grow our own plants. But fish farming along with aquaponics has been a huge interest of mine recently and I'm betting the waste from these tilapia would make excellent fertilizer. I'm wondering if a setup like this could easily be converted into an aquaponics setup.
Hello Jason, i did aquaponics for 5 years but im not satisfied on the grow rate of my veggies, although it really helps to get rid of nitrate which beneficial for the fish. I found hydroponics more effective which yield more good harvest. i used fish waste as fertilizer for my traditional way of planting, i dumped fishpoop everyday to the soil and let it sit for a week which make soil rich. no need for me to buy fertilizer.
Very true. I've seen a system where a guy had a flush valve that ran over pumice rock that collected the fish waste. His plants were on the top and being fed directly from the fish automatically
300 red tilapia at 2 lbs each equivalent to 600lbs (266 kgs), actually i used to put 500 tilapia when i started but i noticed the growth is to slow due to so crowded, so 300 is jst right . Tnx for watching my video.
Minimum 4 times feeding each day? that's crazy high, have you heard Biofloc system? it could lower your feeding rate while maintaining the growth rate, worked so well in my setup for the last 2 nile tilapia harvest, maybe works for you too!
Thank you, will study & try biofloc, i heard a lot abt it, but i notice water looks so muddy like brownies green yellow color. Does it affect the taste of the fish?
Thank you for the video. We have a poop tank, 2 biofilter tanks and an aeration tank. During month 5 & 6 of our 1st crop the water got very dirty with fine particles. Did you add the 4 poop filtration tanks to resolve that problem? Do you think one more with the sock might do it if the volume of the tank is 200 gal?
You wont hv problem with fine particles if you hv a mechanical filter (settling chamber) that works right, it must collect at least 95% of solid waste. May i ask where is your submersible pump located? is it in the pond or outside?
@@BackyardHobby outside. We have a 200 gal gravity settling tank with an inner core, it seemed to fail as the fish started going from .5 to 1 lb, finishing weight. Our first crop was 25% of tank capacity at 140. We are starting again at max 70. Adding plant tanks in the loop. Daily logging, watching everything. We were not so diligent the first 3 months.
The way i designed my gravity settling tank is it has to be deep so there would be calmness at the bottom deep for solid waste to rest. I also make sure the flow rate of my pump is just right not to stir the solid waste to avoid water contamination, i add another chamber to collect suspended solid and another chamber for filter sock to collect micro solid to make sure water entering my bio filter is jst filtering amonia. To have water plants is good to get rid of nitrate. Im a fan of crystal clear water and also to make sure the fish we consume are safe & clean.
I collect fishpoop in settling chamber once a day, while im doing that , 5 gallon of water escaped so i refill 5 gal frm tap water tp maintain water level, thats my water change. ammonia is not a problem because i was able to collect at least 95% of fishpoop and able to house abundant good bacteria in biofilter.
Dont your fish jump out I lost a few jumping out of my crappy system. Also do you also have problem with oil foam build up from the feed? Or how do you get rid of them. I just scoop it out but it is labor intensive.
Fish hardly jump out if you have good water quality on your pond, mechanical filter(settling chamber) does the job of collecting solids before oil foam buildup happened, adding a filter socks will help too.
@@jefreyvalencia4669 Fish get stress & scared easily if u hv poor water quality, usually they swim down once they got scared if u dont hv water problem like high in amonia. Seriously i hv thousands of fish but never experienced fish jump out after i improved my filtration.
@@jefreyvalencia4669 Fish jump out if they got annoyed or stress of something like parasites, high amonia or lice, they jump out to escaped thinking they will lamd to a better place.
I harvested the solid waste by siphoning them into bucket, then dumped them into soil and let it sit for a week. i used that soil for my traditional way of planting and its really effective (free fertilizer), fish waste has no foul smell and doesnt create ecolai unlike the waste of chicken & pig.
The same water filtered cycle through the system, i only add 3 to 5 gallon water after doing cleaning maintenance to maintain water level because water escaped while i siphoning fishpoop frm mechanical chamber
Have you raised other tilapias besides red nile? I understand red nile is the fastest grower. I am looking to start and not sure if I should try the red or blue. Also have your tilapia began breeding if yes how many months before they breed and what set-up do you have so that the grown tilipais do not eat the fingerlings
Tank sizes is 1000 gallon, has stocking rate of 300 red tilapia (2.5 lbs each), actually stocking rate is depend on filtration, the bigger the filtration the more fish you can grow.
Base on my experience shower bath sponge loofahs scrub and japanese matt are the best biomedia, they can house & hold more good bacteria. MBBR ( moving bed bio reactor) using K1 is also very good but needs a lot of aeration to get good results, actually im on MBBR project but using water bottle cover instead of K1. I always want DIY on my hobby.

How do you keep them alive over winter? Your location says Guam... but a lot of us aren't in tropical areas and have cold winters. I'm also curious about how the food to meat ratio compares on fish compared to poultry, or other sources?
I just do not understand the economics of this since I can go to the grocery store and buy 4-5 Tilapia fillets (cleaned) for like $7.00 so what is the payback to all the money you are spending? Please explain to a starter like me?
Fresh live tilapia is uncomparable to fish fillets if you know how to make oriental dishes that used to serve in a restaurant like steem fish, sweet & sour , fish soup & many more. we called it red fish, restaurant used to display them in an aquarium for customers to pick on what kind of dish they want, it cost $40 plus one order, raising red fish in my backyard saves me a lot of money instead of going to restaurant. here in my place to buy live red fish is $10/lb while dead frozen one is $4.99/lb. freshness is expensive bec goodness comes with it.
Very good question. Also, please consider this. Almost 100% of tilapia you buy in the store is from Asia. I've loved living in and visiting Asian countries. But since tilapia if a very hardy fish, most Asian farms feed these fish feces. This is a practice that puts toxins in the fish meat which transfers to us. Very unhealthy.
I’m definitely feeling this..growing and harvesting my own food is truly a blessing from the MOST HIGH GOD..

Sir, nasa video na ang setup ko, well explained ang filtration, kung may specific question po kayo, dont hesitate to ask. Tnx
Hi were you got these 1000 gallon tubs ?
I got it 2nd hand online frm someone quitting the hobby, cant afford brand new so expensive.
they are overcrowded in a small tank
Overcrowded is subjective, it defends on how big & strong the filtration, the bigger the filtration the more fish you can put....
I just do not understand the economics of this since I can go to the grocery store and buy 4-5 Tilapia fillets (cleaned) for like $7.00 so what is the payback to all the money you are spending? Please explain to a starter like me?
Fresh live tilapia is uncomparable to fish fillets if you know how to make oriental dishes that used to serve in a restaurant like steem fish, sweet & sour , fish soup & many more. we called it red fish, restaurant used to display them in an aquarium for customers to pick on what kind of dish they want, it cost $40 plus one order, raising red fish in my backyard saves me a lot of money instead of going to restaurant. here in my place to buy live red fish is $10/lb while dead frozen one is $4.99/lb. freshness is expensive bec goodness comes with it.
Tilapia from store can't compare to homegrown
This comment didn't age well. Go price tilapia today if they have any.
Very good question. Also, please consider this. Almost 100% of tilapia you buy in the store is from Asia. I've loved living in and visiting Asian countries. But since tilapia if a very hardy fish, most Asian farms feed these fish feces. This is a practice that puts toxins in the fish meat which transfers to us. Very unhealthy.
When the store is closed, and you are on your own what will you do?
You say they always hungry cause you not feeding enough food
Actually im overfeeding them, but a pond with quality water, fish will always hv a good appetite tends to eat more and grow fast
