jamesmusslewhite Posted July 13, 2016 Author Posted July 13, 2016 I am building a lobster hatchery on a small island in Day-asan, Surigao. There is a continuing issue with regular but sporadic long brownouts periods. For this reason I will be designing the facility to operate on 12v/24v for the circulation system, filtration system, aeration system and shop lighting. This will be no small feat as my over all tank volume that I will needing be pushing through my protein skimmers and sand filters (five times daily) is 22,716.25 gallons (85,990.38 liter) of saltwater in a closed circulating system. This will require 5 salt-certified 70gpm (264.97 lpm) pumps (1 standing in-line and 4 submersible), 1 salt-certified 60gpm (227.12 lpm) submersible pump, 1 salt-certified 16gpm (60.56 lpm) submersible pump, 1 salt-certified 6gpm (22.71 lpm) submersible pump and 1 salt-certified .173gpm (.655 lpm) submersible pump. I will also need rotifers and brine shrimp in sufficient quantity to seed two 1,196.88 gallon (4,530.68 liter) tanks. I hope members here can help possible locating sources and suppliers. Thank you for any assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
