Yeah mine are at the age where they are all grown up until their in a bind.

No problem, here's the pic...





they look like GREAT tanks at a good price.


I'm REALLY jealous about the transportation tanks and aerator!

Seriously, I hate you... no, that's not what I mean, Congrats on the score. Yep, that's what I meant to say. :-)

Thanks for your help. I have been pondering this little venture for over a year now and have never seemed to have had the money or find things that I could actually afford. I just started praying about it and the Lord blessed me with all three in one day. I'm going to pick up the transport tank tomarrow I'll try and get some pictures of it when I get it.

I'm glad you had a great scrounging day! That's how it seems to go, spurts.
I'll be happy to post other pics for you until you get it figured out.

Are they deep enough?

Thanks alot.

are you going to use these two as growbeds or as fish tanks?
As growbeds they will be fine, slightly deep, but you can use that extra depth with plants like tomatoes or fruit trees.
As fish tanks, depending on how many of which type of fish you are getting, the deeper one would be better.
Do you have a picture of the transporter tank? If that is more than 2' deep, I would use that as the fish tank and the other two as growbeds.

just doing a few calculations to make it easier for me to figure things out

6' x 2' x 2' = 158gal = 600L
7' x 2' x 1.5' = 132gal = 500L
fibreglass transporter 3 x 50gal tanks = 150gal = 560L

IF the transporter is reasonably deep, I would be inclined to have that as the fish tank (you could use each compartment for different age tilapia for breeding) and use the other two tanks for grow beds.
