A tank is one part of the system
A recirculating aquaculture system, or RAS, treats and reuses water. The design also needs to account for waste removal, aeration, water replacement and access for cleaning. A tank volume on its own is not a promise of how many fish it can support.
We discuss the whole setup before recommending equipment: the fish you want to grow, the intended scale, your available space, water supply and power arrangements. Stocking and feeding plans must fit the actual system.
Send these details first
- Your location and measurements of the available space.
- Photos of the site and any tanks or equipment you already have.
- Water source, supply reliability and a place for wastewater to go.
- Power supply and any backup arrangements.
- Intended species, production target and available budget.
Explore the budget, then confirm the design
Use the SANDS farm-budget simulator to explore tank numbers, fingerlings, feed and operating assumptions. Its results are estimates for planning, not a fixed quotation or a guarantee of production or profit.
Once we understand the site, we can discuss the next steps for an assessment and quotation. Confirm what is included in the package, delivery, installation, training and ongoing supplies before ordering. Site visits and other services may have separate fees.
Questions before you enquire
Can you help with an existing tank?
Yes, send its dimensions, photos, water source and equipment details. Explain the problem or the production goal so SANDS can discuss an assessment.
Does a recycling system need fresh water?
Water replacement still needs to be planned. The amount depends on the design, fish load, feeding and water quality. The simulator includes assumptions that must be checked for your site.
Is the simulator result a final quotation?
No. It is an indicative budget. SANDS confirms equipment, installation, site work and operating assumptions separately.
