To establish your initial Biofloc tank using a tarpaulin, follow these structured steps:

  1. Ground Preparation: Before installation, ensure the ground is level and can adequately support the tank's weight. This may involve civil work to create a stable foundation.

  2. Iron Mesh Installation: To reinforce the tapeline tank, install iron mesh or a similar material capable of supporting the water weight.

  3. Tarpaulin Tank Installation: Once the ground and mesh are ready, install the tarpaulin tank, securing the edges to prevent water leakage.

  4. Water Preparation: Before introducing shrimp or fish, prepare the water by adding necessary minerals and nutrients to support biofloc growth.

  5. Aeration Pump Installation: Ensure the health of shrimp or fish by installing an aeration pump to provide essential oxygen to the water.

  6. Seed Transfer: Once the setup is complete and the water is prepared, transfer shrimp or fish seedlings to initiate the Biofloc process.

Additional Steps for Frame Construction:

  1. Constructing the Frame: After civil work is complete, build a frame to support the water tank. One method involves using 8mm rods with a 6 x 6-inch gap for a robust structure.

  2. Alternative Frame Construction: An economical alternative is to use mesh commonly found in poultry farms, providing a cost-effective solution with slightly less strength.

  3. Frame Protection: Safeguard the tarpaulin tank from potential damage caused by the frame. Cover the inside with fiber sheets or a thick tarpaulin to prevent direct contact with the iron mesh or rods.

  4. Tank Installation: Once the tank is secured in the frame, proceed with confidence, knowing that the setup is designed for stability and functionality.
