Selection Guidance

Which Fish Tank Should You Choose?

Need a lightweight tank that is easy to move?

Choose Plastic Tube Frame

Suitable when portability, simple handling and quick setup are more important than high structural rigidity.

Need a stronger modular system for commercial farming?

Choose Galvanized Steel Pipe Frame

A good option for commercial aquaculture projects that require stronger frame support while retaining modular installation.

Need a rigid structure for a larger tank?

Choose Galvanized Sheet

Designed for larger-capacity projects where stronger sidewall support and a more permanent installation are preferred.

Parameters & Dimensions

Sizes and Configurations

Fish farming tanks are configured according to the required water volume, available site area and farming system. Instead of forcing every project into one fixed tank specification, we review the tank structure and dimensions according to the intended application.

Plastic Tube Frame Tank

Configuration can be adjusted according to:

  • • Required tank capacity
  • • Tank diameter and height
  • • Site dimensions
  • • Liner specification
  • • Drainage arrangement
  • • Installation requirements

This structure is generally selected where lower weight and portability are important.

Structure 02

Galvanized Steel Pipe Frame Tank

Configuration can include:

  • • Tank dimensions
  • • Pipe-frame layout
  • • Liner specification
  • • Drain location

Liner & Outlets

Liner, Drainage and Custom Options

A fish tank is more than the external frame. The liner and water-handling configuration also need to match the way the farm operates.

Option 01

Liner Options

Flexible liners can be configured according to tank structure, required dimensions and project requirements.

The liner is manufactured to fit the selected support structure rather than treated as a separate generic component.

Option 02

Drainage Options

Drainage arrangements can be configured according to the farm layout and operating requirements.

Options may include different outlet positions and drainage layouts depending on the selected tank structure.

Option 03

Custom Configuration

Depending on the project, we can review:

  • • Tank diameter & height
  • • Water capacity
  • • Support structure
  • • Liner specification
  • • Drain position
  • • Inlet and outlet arrangement
  • • Packing requirements

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the three fish tank structures?

The main difference is the external supporting structure. Plastic tube frame tanks prioritize lightweight handling and portability. Galvanized pipe frame tanks provide stronger modular support for commercial applications. Galvanized sheet tanks use rigid sheet panels and are generally better suited to larger-capacity installations.

Which tank is suitable for biofloc fish farming?

Both galvanized pipe frame and galvanized sheet tanks can be used for commercial aquaculture and biofloc-related projects depending on the required capacity, installation layout and structural requirements. For smaller or more temporary systems, a plastic tube frame may also be considered.

Can you customize the tank size?

Yes. Tank dimensions can be reviewed according to the required water capacity, installation area and selected structure. For galvanized sheet tanks, standard reference sizes are available, while project-specific configurations can also be discussed.

Can I choose the liner specification?

The liner specification can be configured according to the tank type and project requirements. We recommend confirming the intended application and tank dimensions before finalizing the liner.

Can the drainage position be customized?

Drainage layout and outlet position can be reviewed according to the selected tank structure and farm requirements. Providing your intended piping or drainage layout during quotation helps us recommend a more suitable configuration.

Which tank is easiest to move?

The Plastic Tube Frame Fish Farming Tank is generally the most suitable option when lightweight handling and frequent relocation are important.

Which structure is better for larger tanks?

For larger-capacity installations, galvanized sheet construction generally provides greater structural rigidity. The appropriate structure should still be selected according to tank dimensions, conditions and project requirements.

Can I order several different tank sizes in one project?

Yes. Commercial aquaculture projects can include multiple tank capacities and configurations within the same order. Providing a tank list or farm layout helps us review the project more efficiently.
