I didnt realized there was this thread in Lowyat, always have the interest to start some agro farming, but being in KL, land is the problem. If anyone can advise a good farming opportunity please let me know.

The farm is earthen pond. But we have non stop water flowing in from a river source. So we never have to worry about waste. Because of the flowing water, our ammonia levels never ever reach critical levels. If they start to rise we simply open the pipe to let in more water for a few hours. In effect we're doing a big scale water change.

For aeration, we use a 2hp air blower with aerotube. It is good enough because we have constant water flow. In fact you can use this method as well instead of oxygen injection for your ras. It's definitely the cheaper solution. Pond is roughly 1 acre in size.

Edit: you seem to know quite a bit about RAS, I'm still interested to learn about the ras system. Maybe we can meet up one day and share knowledge? Where are you based at?

Ahh you have access to free water source. I don't have that kind of luxury as I'm converting my dad's workshop located in town area for aquaculture.

I'm not gonna use pure oxygen injection as it add up to the opex. I'll probably use a counter flow co2 stripper, if oxygen level is an issue later on, I'll just simply add throw in few o2 reactor power by air pump to further increase the dissolve oxygen.

Actually I'm still new on ras there's still a lot to learn, just started to research on this few month ago.
BTW I'm had a full time job at KL, my aquaculture proof of concept project will be located at N9.

I am considering to rent a land in Kuang 6 acres. can you share information as follow ?

1.)How much yield you can get from one plant 2~2.5kg of Cili Kulai 568 ?
2.)Generally Cili Kulai 568 yield per year per plant ?

Hello,

We're using fertigation system. Currently we have around 7000 plants on 1.8 acres of land. Our previous planting we had 10k plants on 1.8 acres. We harvested for 2.5 months, we got round 2.5 kg per plant during that duration. That was only the first cycle. You can harvest for up to 9 months if your plants are healthy. However, we had virus issue and we replanted. 4-5 kg per plant 2-3 cycles is not a problem.

Any recommendations on how to search for agriculture land?
What are the best approaches?

Hi can I know where is your farm ? Can I meet you personally to understand more ? I really need some guidance as my rented land is pretty expensive hence have to proper plan crop to plant in my Farm. I have PM you pls check it out

U got underground water? if you doesnt wanna do that , you should have a drum filter, bio filters are more appropriate for low density aquarium fish.
