Fish tank geometry: volume being equal, what caveats/considerations? - Aquaponic Gardening2024-03-28T23:09:35Zhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/forum/topics/fish-tank-geometry-volume-being-equal-what-caveats-considerations?feed=yes&xn_auth=noRandy: where would one find s…tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2013-10-16:4778851:Comment:5238042013-10-16T01:22:53.786ZBen Rodmanhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/BenRodman
<p>Randy: where would one find something like that? Do you mean by calculating DO levels and comparing to a species' oxygen requirements?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Rob: Yep, understand that :). I'm rather a function kind of cat rather than an aestheticist but if this is ever to make it out of the shed having a little less "thump" on the eyes will help. Did you line that with pond liner/other plastic? Is there a sump tank hidden back there somewhere?</p>

<p>the problem with a tote.. its industrial waste..</p>
<p>no matter how much you try to hide it, it will still look like, well ..decorated industrial waste.</p>
<p>my favorite tank is the 300 gallon Rubbermaid.. its low and wide.. fish like to swim in circles, not up and down.</p>
<p>if you want a small foot print build something like this.. its a 2"x12"/plywood box and a 150 gallon Tuff Tub..</p>
<p>this looks like a food growing system,, not a Daftpunk / Frankenstein experiment ;)…</p>

<p>Study the fish you plan to use as to their requirements regarding surface area. A rectangular tank will give more room for the fish to swim than a cube with the same volume.</p>
