5.8m Beehive PP Aquaculture Tank for High-Density RAS Systems

Technical Specifications

The 5.8m Beehive PP Aquaculture Tank is made from food-grade polypropylene, thick enough to stand up to harsh farm conditions and built to last over a decade. It holds approximately 25,000 liters, suitable for high-density stocking around 100 kg/m³ as noted on page 9 of our knowledge base.

Key specs include:

• Material: UV-stabilized, corrosion-resistant polypropylene

• Diameter: 5.8 meters; height: 1.2 meters

• Volume: ~25,000 liters

• Flow rate compatibility: up to 500 m³/hour, compatible with 74μm drum filters and biofilter media (including MBBR media with 800-1000 m²/m³ surface area)

• Weight capacity: designed for continuous operation in intensive RAS setups

• Modular connection points for integration with oxygenation and degassing systems

We provide detailed technical datasheets (downloadable) with exact dimensions, tolerances, and installation notes. The engineering specs are straightforward but thorough, ensuring your tech team can plan with confidence.

This 5.8m Beehive PP Aquaculture Tank fits right in at high-density RAS farms, fish hatcheries, and shrimp operations worldwide. It handles stocking densities up to 100 kg/m³ without breaking a sweat, making it popular among intensive growers looking to maximize space and output.

We've shipped these tanks to over 20 countries, including large-scale shrimp farms in South America that reported a 30% boost in yield after switching to this setup. The honeycomb design improves water flow, reducing dead zones and supporting biofiltration that “chews up ammonia” effectively.

The tank integrates well with 74μm drum filters and MBBR bio media, helping maintain water quality essential for delicate fingerlings and juvenile fish. Farms in Southeast Asia and Europe appreciate the tank’s durability and ease of integration into existing RAS lines.

Whether used for tilapia, shrimp, or trout hatcheries, this tank handles the strain and keeps operations running smooth with less downtime.

Installing the 5.8m Beehive PP Aquaculture Tank is straightforward — no concrete foundation needed, just level ground and modular supports. Most crews we worked with set it up within a day or two, hooking it into existing RAS plumbing without fuss.

Maintenance? Pretty simple. Just check weekly for debris buildup or minor wear around the inlet and outlet points. The PP material resists corrosion and UV damage, so it stays tough even under heavy use. Cleaning is usually done alongside regular system maintenance, no special tools required.

We back installation with on-site training and detailed manuals to get your team up to speed quickly. For overseas hatcheries, our tech support covers setup questions and troubleshooting to minimize downtime.

No fancy gimmicks — just a tank built to work hard and stay reliable through many production cycles.

Q1: Can this tank handle different fish species in the same system?
No sweat, it hooks up to standard RAS biofiltration systems that work for tilapia, shrimp, trout, and more. Just adjust stocking densities accordingly.

Q2: What’s the expected lifespan of the polypropylene material?
Built tough to last 10+ years under normal conditions. UV stabilization and corrosion resistance keep it going strong.

Q3: Is the tank compatible with other filtration equipment?
Yes, it integrates easily with 74μm drum filters, MBBR bio media, and oxygenation systems common in intensive RAS setups.

Q4: How often should maintenance checks be performed?
A quick weekly glance is enough to catch debris or wear. Cleaning aligns with your routine RAS maintenance.

Q5: Do you provide technical support during installation?
Absolutely. We offer manuals, training, and remote support to ensure smooth setup and operation.

Q6: What is the minimum order quantity for this tank?
MOQ varies based on shipment and customization, but we cater to both small hatcheries and large-scale farms. Contact us for tailored quotes.
