Thank you for purchasing the Aqua-Farm 3 recirculating system. Whether you are new to the world
of "aquaculture" or are a seasoned veteran, the Aqua-Farm 3 can be a valuable learning tool.
The use of recirculating systems is increasingly popular in the classroom. Biology, design/
engineering, math, chemistry, business and physics are just some of the many important learning
experiences that students can gain from the study of aquaculture.
About Your System
The Aqua-Farm 3 is a small scale recirculating system. This system has three main parts; 1) fish culture tank, 2) water
pump, 3) filter system. The Aqua-Farm 3 has two 300 gallon fish culture tanks. These tanks are flat bottomed and do
not require any additional stands or support. The water pump that's used in a recirculating system must be reliable!
If the water pump fails, the entire system shuts down and a fish loss is likely! We have chosen a reliable, continuous
duty pump for this system. This pump is energy efficient and very dependable. For the filter system a bio-tube filter is
used. These filters are the finest method of filtration currently available on the market. This system comes with all the
necessary items needed for assembly except for some PVC pipe and teflon tape. All fittings and valves are included.
The filter has its own assembly instructions and should be assembled first.
