Also, refresh my memory...what are "CP"?


Sure, I'd be glad to talk about my current setup. It's really not all that interesting though. You'd probably be more interested in my RAS plans. What you might find interesting is that I kept 100 3-4 inch Tilapia in 30 gallons of water for 2 months without any issues. Water quality would go from excellent to quite terrible and the Tilapia didn't seem to care either way. I recently bought a 45 gallon sterilite tub/tote and have roughly 80 3-5 inch Tilapia in that using a cheap canister filter, and the water quality has remained quite high with no water changes, just water replacement as needed.

CP = Chain Pickerel (like a mini Northern Pike basically)


12 ac pond in NW Missouri. 28' max depth at full pool. Fish Present: LMB, BG, RES, YP, CC, WB, HSB, WE, BCP, WCP, GSH.
