Thank you very much for this link. I haven't finished reading it yet but I am enjoying it very much so far. This is a must read for anyone planning on crossing sunfish.

Thanks again!


No need for an apology. I was being a bit unusual yesterday.

There is some interesting information on this link: NCRAC Worth your while to check out.

A word of caution on the Parabolic screen filters. The geometry has to be quite precise, and they use a very special mesh weave. I have not tried to source any material because they can't filter down tight enough for RAS applications. That is why they were a bust. Rotary drum filters are pretty much the choice in the microscreen department.

Cecil has a link to a small unit, if he would post it.


And to add to what JKB is saying with those king of micron tolerances you almost might as well go with settling tanks.

Here's are a couple of links to a couple of rotary screens that are less costly than the high end commercial ones, but still not cheap.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
