Good argument for RAS, eh!


Yeah and on top of that a lot less flow needed too!

BTW, I had some discussions with some very knowledgeable people at our last conference. Seems the trout systems Summerfelt et al. are pushing -- which are really partial RAS due to the massive amount of make up water -- are overkill according to some well respected people in the field I know. Good to know! According to Summerfelt for trout and salmon you have to replace the entire tank volume ever day. Kind of defeats the purpose of an RAS IMHO.


John was pretty dry when I drove by. To the East, it got a bit wet tho.

I never pay attention to that crew any more. They went crazy a while back wink
