Well we had several days in a row with 97-99 degree days. This was no good. Luckily we didn’t have any fish yet. However the water was getting up to 94 degrees. This is stretching it for Tilapia.
I tried pulling the Bells so that the Grow Beds were in a constant flood. That didn’t help a lot. So we got some shade.
I also want to get some reed fencing. Partly to go around the bottoms of the grow beds for looks but also to put around the fish tank because it is a dark color and I believe that would help prevent the sun from being absorbed into the tank. I still notice even with the shade that the tank temp can increase in the evening when the sun is setting.
The shade canopy over the fish tank to limit the Oklahoma sun.
