Title: A little hobby I am involved in
Post by: -Vegeta- on Saturday, March 18, 2017, 18:45:29 PM
Dont all fall over your selves trying to help me :).
Koden I am sure you will appreciate this.

I have just made 5 fibre glass tanks about 50 gallons each. They are all contected in a line. I am going to put all my lobster catches in there untill the price goes up a few weeks into the season. then after 60% though the season I and going to keep them untill the end of the season. they will go up £10,00 per kilo at the end of the season when they are fewer about. happens every year.

I will keep the hens in one tank and will gather there eggs when the drop off . I will then keep them as they go through 4 stages in 4 weeks. Then I will need to seperate them in something like ice cube contianers. as they get very caniblistic at 4 weeks. so I will keep them until they are about 2-3 inches lg. So what I would like to know from anyone who deos know. What size of pump do i need to push the salt water for 250 gallons? I will post some photos of this as it gos. right now its only dry tanks. boat will be launvhed in three weeks. and 200 creels will go out.

Wait a minute, keeping hens in fiberglass tanks? Hopefully you're gonna use stiffer insulation in the tanks, something they cant bite (and eat) through.

You're only talking 250 gallons, that's not much. I'd imagine a sump pump would do the trick.

When the eggs hatch the videos I have seen have the young one tumbiling like crazy in the water. I just need to know if these sump pumps are supposed to go 24/7?

I've not used one but I'm pretty sure they are meant to. They can be submerged as well so there's no needing to prime the system or have hassle.

I got a little air compressor for airating the water, and it has little taps for ajusting air flow in. You can give them to much air I am told. But no one knows how much is enough :O
