Combi Tanks

The combi-tank is a complete "hatchery system" designed for hatching eggs, first feeding fry and rearing larger fry. The system is comprised of an egg tray, first feeder tanks, and a main tank.

When the eggs hatch, the sac-fry move by gravity through the slotted screen of the egg tray into the first feeder tank below. After the fry are eating evenly, they can be movied into the main tank.

The flow of water passes through the screen bottom from below and is discharged through the top of the centre outlet equipped with a fine PVC filtration screen. When the eggs hatch, the sac-fry move by gravity through the slotted screen bottom of the hatching tray into the first-feeder tray below.

Biomats, spike side down, are often used in this tank to conserve the fry’s energy. First feeding usually begins when the yolk-sac is consumed by 2/3.

Tank cleaning procedures begin at this stage to ensure a high standard of hygiene. The hydro-dynamics of the tank’s design facilitates the cleaning process.

When the fry are eating evenly, they are moved into the main tank.

With about 1,200 litres (320 gal.) of water, there is enough room to grow 25,000 fry to one gram before exceeding 20 kg/m3 of biomass. At this stage, the fry can be split or moved to a larger tank.
