Here is the small checklist before you start your Biofloc setup
Land
Enough land to setup multiple
Biofloc tanks.
If you are beginner you might start
with 1 or 2 tanks of at least 10000 liters.
One such tank takes up to 4 Dia meters of area, if you are planning to do commercial fish farming you need to do your maths.
What production capacity you are planning to establish ? and accordingly how many tanks will be need to harvest planned quantity including reserves tanks?
Reserve tanks will be needed for water maintenance and sorting of seeds as per the size. (Big size fish can’t be left with small one) For profitable select setup as per your available land.

Check the type of fish selling in market near you
Before starting fish farm it is
common sense to decide the bread of the fish you are going to harvest. Visit
local market and asker seller which fish and what size on what approx cost they
will buy from you. Get the idea for the most profitable harvest before starting to
work on tank setup
Working capital for 6 months
Although you could harvest your
crop in 4-5 months but it is advisable to keep working capital for 6 months.
Enough money to run day to day activity till you sell your harvest in the market.
You need to calculate feed cost, Probiotics, labour, electricity, and other relevant cost. You should also keep in mind when type of seed and when they will be able to reach sellable size.

As you panic you need to consult someone on urgent basis.
Only by the experience you will gain control
on these basic things but in the beginning you will need on call help.
It is advisable to select
trainer who would be able to help you over the phone or pay quick visit. You can can also get the numbers of some
other experienced farmer near you who would be able to provide support in case of emergency
I can't stress this point enough. Remember In the beginning you are going to
face so many challenges, no amount of training can prepare you for the day to day surprises. Before
selecting training source, make sure that the training will be available to
help you out in case of emergencies.
It is recommended to check with the farmer who
go trained from them for there reputation .
also try to make a group of new
farmer who are in the next stage , they will understand you better.

mortality, power backup is required to maintain the supply of oxygen supply. any type of power back of is required to handle power failure.
