Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Can talapia be raised above ground swimming pools?

The way that I see it is that you only have 2 choices:

1) bottom drain and make the incoming water flow in a circular motion to make the solids gravitate towards and then down into the center drain

2) use a vaccum like what is used to suck up stuff from the bottom of a swimming pool.

A tank with a bottom drain going onto a clarifier, then into a biological filter (like a fluidized bed filter) works pretty slick.
