Were going to be using an 800 gallon tank specially designed for shrimp farming which we will be feeding around 4 lb's of feed a day. We figure the most cost effective way to facilitate cleaning this water is to build a large rubber made sump (at least 300 gallons). The issue is that this setup will be put in a greenhouse that is located about 1 hour away, so we don't want to have to come out here every 3 days to clean sock filters. This is a senior design project and we don't have any real world experience to know what to expect with feeding 4 pounds a day.
After looking at this this (http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1551665) it looks like large rubbermaid containers are the best way to go. Were definitely going to be using the marinepure products for ammonia/nitrite, but the biggest issue is how to handle the heavier solids so that we don't have to come out here every 3 days for maintenance. The water doesn't have to be crystal clear since it will be used for shrimp farming. Do you guys have any opinions?
Thanks
