Comment by sunset on April 4, 2014 at 12:41am: Hey Jim. I need to replenish my stock so I may hit you up for some more fish. After the mass death last year, I have been just biding my time through the winter but I guess I can get things moving again now.

Comment by Kim Romen on April 4, 2014 at 12:38am: Robert, I'll say a prayer for you!

Comment by Randy Mann on April 3, 2014 at 10:30pm: I am sure none of you have ever done this with your system....you get this idea in your head and you know it is not the best way to go.... but you know if you do not carry it out it will gnaw at you until you do it anyway so it is best just to get it over with so the next gnawing idea can come. Here is the result of the 1st gnawing idea...the 5 gallon swirl filter.

Comment by Jim Troyer on April 3, 2014 at 12:23am: Hi George

Yes, I have fish, they are 7-8" long, no babies at this time, sorry. let me know if you want some of these bigger fish. 480.257.5214

@ Matt: It's the home despot bucket right?! huh! <chuckling>

That's a male tilapia BTW you can tell by the pointy fin like a '57 Chebbie, gals are '56 Chebbie like

@ the group:

Please add Bob (Robert) Rowe in to your prayers. Bob is upgrading himself to partial android status with a pair of high tech knees this week.

God Bless Bob!

Comment by Randy Mann on April 2, 2014 at 11:46am: Man that is fantastic Jim!!! Thank you very much. I appreciate all your help.

Comment by George Taimanao on April 2, 2014 at 7:47am: Hey Jim, do you have any tilapia for sale? I would like to get some by this weekend. Thanks!

Comment by Jim Troyer on April 2, 2014 at 4:36am: @ Randy: I just noticed that I labeled the radial filter as a swirl filter in the image below, my bad, sorry for any confusion I may have caused. Here is an updated image:

Comment by Matt Miskinnis on April 1, 2014 at 10:30pm: @Randy, mine is similar to what Jim shows but my sump tank pumps into my Fish Tank, then my fish tank has a radial filter between the the Fish Tank and the grow beds, then the grow beds dump back to the sump. Either way you are capturing the big solids before getting into your grow beds.
