| Post subject: | Water Heating - Tilapia |
Hi Everyone in Oz, Happy New Year to all. I have been based in Malaysia but now looking a maybe move to southern Europe. I have been reseaching Aquaponics - about time to try it out practically. I would very much like to try using Tilapia as my fish stock in southern Spain. Sapin - Average Temp Range Summer High 86F - 30C Winter Low 45 F - 7C ( 'Averages'.) Quote WIKI :- The coldest temperature ever recorded was − 0.9 °C (30.4 °F) on the night (the same as tropical Miami) of 19 January 1891. Problem is that as I understand it water temperatures for Tilapia have to ideally be at circa 75F - 23C?? for a reasonable growth rate. Plus anything below 45F - 8C at very lowest for Blue Tilapi and generally 52 to 62 °F (11 to 17 °C) for other types they will not survive. Is anyone aware of anyone who has managed to keep water temperatures up to a suitable level by using insulation techniques plus possibly the additional use of Solar Panel heating during low temperature months. I was thinking something along the lines of heating water in a large reservoir'outside' the circulating system to act as a heat reservoir particularly during night times. Seems to me the only way it could be done economically. I certainly have the 'know how' to set up such a system in principal. All Best. Factseeker. |
