No I am not up yet, I am regrouping and starting smaller. I really love the concept but don't know what I am doing yet.

What is the best tasting fish to stock a small NE GA pond? The Pond is in a field with cows, spring fed and 5 feet at the deepest point and 40 feet across.

The eventual goal is to cover the entire pool and build out a commercial scale system that will use the full space available. I am taking baby steps though. I have covered the shallow end, have two small test systems up (1 media, 1 dwc), and am working towards a larger system with a few IBC totes.

If you are ever around town, I would love to bounce ideas off you. I'll keep you in mind next time I'm headed north.

All the best,
Robbie

At 7:16am on November 10, 2010, TCLynx said…: I've never figured out how to reliably tell male and female channel catfish apart and to try breeding in such small tanks, I think you would have to be certain you were putting a proper pair together. Catfish don't mature till 3-5 years in age and by then they could be really big fish. The one I kept for two years (which means it was probably three years old) weighed in at 10 lbs.

At 7:17am on November 9, 2010, TCLynx said…: Is it just one IBC you have as a fish tank? Seems like a lot of fish if so.
