No, not a recipe
There is a member here, perhaps more than one grows Tilapia could you send me a PM please? Have the "brilliant" idea that I needed yet another project I don't have time for. My plan has always been to line the sides of the front greenhouse I am just finishing with 275 gallon IBC Totes, 24 to 28 of them. I have a source for the totes for $25 each which is quite cheap and they held a non toxic substance. Have the first 9 here now and working on digging them in as they will be buried in the ground about a foot. The original purpose was to pump water through a solar heater to warm the water so it radiates the heat back to the greenhouse on our brutally frigid Florida nights to keep the young fig plants in pots happy as well as the lychee and Mango trees that are planted in ground inside the greenhouse. In the summer I could reverse it and run the pump only at night which would cool the water a bit. The front greenhouse is basically just a winter greenhouse far as figs are concerned and the back greenhouse is the summer greenhouse as it gets shade. I figured since I am adding 7000+ gallons of water why not raise some Tilapia?
Just have some questions on filtration. Fertilizer run off as the plants would drip in the tanks. I could avoid that but would be more work and not sure if it is needed.
