Please may i have a quotation?

What would be the your best stocking density for this fish tank?

[@MyAquaponics1]

we dont recommend more than 30kg of fish per 1000 litres

Perfect. Please i am based in Nigeria and i have been researching this system for the past two months. I want to install here. Do you install for clients?

[@MyAquaponics1]

Hi, we will be offering installation within South Africa only due to logistics involved . First however we will have to finalize costings for all the components. If you are in Nigeria , you can simply build the grow beds and tank with blocks and cement and a pond sealer. Everything else you should be able to source in Nigeria such as water pumps, air pumps and timer. Not sure if there are companies that build greenhouse tunnels in Nigeria, but their should be. Again, you can build you own structure with steel or wood. We can supply the plastic and shade net if required

@@MyAquaponics1😢 ok. We do have companies that construct greenhouses..i guess I’d have to work with them then…

Good day @MyAquaoonics, would a 3000L or 4500L submersible water pump work for this set up

[@MyAquaponics1]

They would be too under powered for all grow beds. I would go with at least a 10000l/hr water pump with 1-2 m head. Check performance curve of pump as most pump's specified flow volume are based on zero height(head). Flo is not really that important in Sandponics, as you can just increase the flood time using a timer.

Thank you @MyAquaponics. I am assuming a 10 000L/H pump can work for either depth (0.5m/1m)?

[@MyAquaponics1]

@@tanyaradzwamakuwaza6339 You would have to refer to the pumps performance curve. So if it says 10 000l/hr on the box, that usually means 10 000l/hr at zero height. Volume drops the higher you pump. So at say 1m, it could be 8000l/hr only.. So yes in that case, should more than suffice for the system in the video

Nice! How many liters out of 6000 liter are you pumping out per cycle for this?
