Aqua-Manna Fish Growout System

Aqua-Manna offers our full size recirculating system for fish growout.  The growout system consists of a two part, snap together, hot-dipped galvanized steel frame, including plywood and butyl rubber liner.   The culture side of the tank is 6' wide and 32' long, the filtration side is 2' wide and 32' long.  The filtration side contains one SETO (vacuum drum filter), six gear driven rotating biological contactors.  A multifunctional pump sits at each end of the culture tank and fully recirculates the entire system volume every five minutes.  Multi-Functional Pump:  This fractional horsepower pump is known for its dependability, low energy usage and the fact that it can move in excess of 600 gallons per minute, foam fractionates and supplies in excess of 1 pound of oxygen per hour while stripping carbon dioxide from the water. This pump is truly remarkable.  Made of stainless steel and UHMW polyethylene,  it is virtually indestructible. Aqua Manna Vacuum Drum Filter: Automatic variable speed filter continuously filters solids from the water, handling up to 1.7 million gallons per day.  Known throughout the industry for its durability and low maintenance, this unit filters 1200 gallons per minute. The solids are automatically sent to a diversion area that fits your barn. Aqua Manna Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC)  This revolutionary RBC is powered by a unique gear drive system, that keeps the biolfilters turning at an optimal four rpm. Virtually maintenance free and because of the design, is self cleaning.        The Aqua-Manna fish growout  system can handle up to 60 lb. per day of 32% protein tilapia feed.    Between our farmers and our own culture, hybrid striped bass, largemouth bass, tilapia, rainbow trout, yellow perch, hybrid bluegill, koi and fancy goldfish have all been reared in this system successfully.   Performance example:   Through the proper grading and splitting of fish, 2 nursery systems and 9 growout systems can produce  120,000 lb of tilapaia/year*.
