I'm brand new to AP but have been reading and, hopefully, studying for about a year or so. During that time, I knew I wanted to have tilapia as my fish, but am fairly sure I won't be able to sustain…Continue

You can use a hotknife, but a hole saw with fine teeth should work well, like for cutting metal. Wood hole saws have a pretty aggressive cut.

What do folks out the in Aqua-land suggest for cutting holes in 2 inch styrofoam to use for a floating raft. I kinda did a butcher job on it with a hole saw. michael

Hello everyone, I am looking to start a small AP system at home and I am looking for some advice on how big to start.  I am in the military, stationed in Everett, and sometimes need to move around so I unfortunately can't have a full size system.  Plus, like I said I'm in the military so money is tight.  I am thinking that a used system would be more affordable then buying new, it is just a matter of finding a used system.  I would like to have an assortment of fish in the tank, I am not sure if that is even possible but I like a variety and if it is not possible I will understand. If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Sorry, forgot to say Oregon...

Oregon, Washington, or Idaho?

It's official -- APer can have tilapia in their enclosed setups.

 

"The new ruling allows rearing of tilapia for personal use indoors (within an enclosed structure) without a fish propagation license.  The four species that are allowed are Mozambique, Nile, wami, and blackchin.  A transport permit is required to transport the fish from the place of purchase to your property."
