1 to 1.6-ton capacity Eco Lobster Condo for mid to long-term contention of lobster
This Eco Lobster Condo includes two identical over-the-ground water accumulation tanks (sumps) with their shellfish holding receptacles, and a common REBF system.
This system is a turnkey stand-alone Eco Lobster Condo. Polyvalent it can hold various species of shellfish in a variety of holding receptacles, such as stacked trays, trays in a cabinet-like assembly, stacked fish totes, and floating plastic crates. The included REBF (water REcycling with Bio-Filtration) module is designed to recycle close to 100% of the water flow (about 99.9%)
