Self-Cleaning Aquaculture Tanks

Optimise Your Aquaculture Operations with The Innovative Self-Cleaning Tanks

Fresh By Design are excited to provide cutting-edge solutions for the aquaculture and aquarium industry! Self-Cleaning Aquaculture tanks are designed to enhance efficiency, reduce maintenance, and ensure optimal conditions for larval growth. This versatile and capable tank that not only nurtures aquatic species but also cleans itself, saving time and effort while maximising productivity. These tanks are particularly geared at commercial high-density larval culture.

Because many species are cultured using green water techniques or clay, it is difficult to see the tank bottom. The only effective cleaning mechanism is by siphoning these tanks which takes an enormous amount of time and results in many viable larvae getting siphoned in the process. Oceans Design’s self-cleaning tanks utilise a squeegee that cleans both the sidewall and tank bottom depositing all the debris into a trough extending from the centre of the tank to the side wall.

Key Features:

Automated Self-Cleaning System: Equipped with an advanced self-cleaning mechanism that minimises manual cleaning efforts, ensuring a hygienic environment for larvae. The system includes a sediment trap at the bottom of the tank, which can be activated to flush out accumulated solids.
Dual Inflow Design: Featuring both bottom and surface water inflows, the tanks promote homogeneous water circulation and better dispersion of larvae within the water column. This design helps prevent temperature and oxygen stratification, ensuring uniform water quality throughout the tank
Surface Spray Mechanism: A surface spray is added above the water to free the surface from lipid film and assist larvae in filling their gas bladders
Durable Construction: Made from high-quality, food-grade polyethylene, these tanks are built to withstand the rigours of aquaculture operations.
Optimal Water Flow: The unique design promotes efficient water circulation, reducing the risk of stagnant areas and ensuring uniform distribution of nutrients.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for various stages of larval development, from hatcheries to grow-out systems.
Easy Installation: Our tanks come with user-friendly installation guides and optional accessories to customise your setup.

Specifications:

Capacity: Available in multiple sizes to suit different operational needs.
Material: Food-grade polyethylene, ensuring safety and durability.
Color Options: Available in blue and green.
Water Flow Rate: Adjustable flow rates to optimise water quality and larval dispersion
Sediment Purge Valve: Allows for easy flushing of accumulated solids, recommended to be used once or twice a day.

Key Applications:

Marine Fish Hatcheries: Ideal for the initial stages of marine fish larval rearing, ensuring optimal conditions for growth and survival
Shellfish Larval Rearing: Suitable for high-density rearing of oyster larvae and other shellfish species
Research Facilities: Perfect for scientific studies involving larval development, water quality, and microbial control
