Recirculating System Design
Design a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) with biofilter sizing, pump requirements, and tank volume based on fish biomass and feed rate.
Inputs
Results
Biofilter Media Area
600 ft²
≈ 5 parking spaces
Recommended Tank Volume
1,000 gallons
≈ 25 bathtubs
Pump Flow Rate
32 GPM
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Fish Biomass, Feed Rate, and Target Water Temperature.
- Review Biofilter Media Area (ft²), Recommended Tank Volume (gallons), and Pump Flow Rate (GPM).
- Use Biofilter Volume (gallons) and Total System Volume (gallons) to inform your decision.
- Use the chart to visualize the results and explore different scenarios by adjusting inputs.
