Aquaculture Tank
YUTANK manufactures customizable aquaculture tanks for freshwater and marine farming applications — welded polypropylene, modular reinforced PP and galvanized steel tanks with liners — configured to your species, production stage, stocking density, site layout and RAS requirements.
Overview
An aquaculture tank is a controlled culture vessel used for raising or holding fish, shrimp and other aquatic species. In a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), tank shape, water depth, inlet design and drainage determine how water circulates, how solids are removed and how cleanly the tank integrates with the filtration system.
Tank Types
YUTANK supplies three tank types so the structure, size and installation method can be matched to your farming application.
Welded polypropylene tanks manufactured from PP suitable for aquaculture, providing a corrosion-resistant and highly customizable solution for freshwater and marine farming systems.
Structural PP panels with a honeycomb-style internal design, transported in sections and assembled on site — ideal for large-diameter tanks and multi-tank commercial facilities.
A galvanized steel structural wall combined with an internal waterproof liner, transported efficiently and assembled at the farm for large-volume commercial aquaculture projects.

Buying an aquaculture tank is relatively simple. Making that tank work efficiently inside a commercial aquaculture system requires more than tank manufacturing. YUTANK combines aquaculture tank manufacturing with RAS engineering experience, supporting the project from the culture tank to the complete water-treatment system.
We manufacture aquaculture tanks and design complete recirculating aquaculture systems, allowing the culture tanks and water-treatment system to be planned as part of the same project.
Tank size, shape, drainage, inlet positions and pipe connections can be adapted according to species, production capacity, stocking strategy, site layout and RAS configuration.
Depending on the project, YUTANK can provide support covering system design, equipment manufacturing, installation guidance, commissioning and technical training.
Our experience includes multi-tank commercial RAS farms as well as international aquaculture projects under different site, climate and production conditions.
Specifications
Standard configurations are available for modular reinforced PP and galvanized tanks, while welded PP tanks can be customized according to project requirements.
Welded PP tanks are fabricated to project requirements, so dimensions, shape and connections are specified per project rather than fixed to a standard range.
Standard modular reinforced PP tank configurations are listed below. Custom diameters and heights are also available on request.
| Diameter | Height | Approx. Volume | Material |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5.8 m | 1.4 m | 37 m³ | Reinforced PP panel |
| 6.4 m | 1.4 m | 45 m³ | Reinforced PP panel |
| 7.1 m | 1.4 m | 56.9 m³ | Reinforced PP panel |
| 7.8 m | 1.4 m | 68.6 m³ | Reinforced PP panel |
| 10 m | 1.25 m | 98 m³ | Reinforced PP panel |
| 10 m | 1.85 m | 145.3 m³ | Reinforced PP panel |
| 15 m | 1.25 m | 220.9 m³ | Reinforced PP panel |
| 15 m | 2.5 m | 441.8 m³ | Reinforced PP panel |
Galvanized steel tanks use a structural wall with an internal liner, with diameters selected according to site and production requirements.

Applications
Circular and custom aquaculture tanks can be integrated with mechanical filtration, biofiltration, oxygenation and water circulation equipment to form complete land-based recirculating aquaculture systems.
Custom PP tanks can be configured for broodstock, fry and early-stage production where different production groups and controlled water conditions are required.
Aquaculture tanks can be arranged in standardized groups for nursery and fingerling production, helping farms separate batches and organize grading, feeding and day-to-day management.
Large modular PP and galvanized tanks are suitable for commercial grow-out facilities that require significant culture volume, repeatable tank layouts and scalable production capacity.
Aquaculture tanks can be integrated with temperature control, oxygenation and water-treatment equipment for cold-water species where stable operating conditions are important.
Tank systems can also be configured for shrimp and other crustaceans, with tank depth, circulation, aeration and solids-management requirements adapted to the farming method.
Selection Guide
There is no single tank that is suitable for every aquaculture project. Before choosing an aquaculture tank, we recommend evaluating five key factors.
Define the cultured species and its requirements for water flow, oxygen and tank geometry.
Match the tank to hatchery, nursery, grow-out or holding, each with different stocking and sizing needs.
Set your target stocking density to estimate the culture volume and biomass the system must support.
Calculate the required tank volume and quantity from biomass and density, then confirm the footprint.
Choose the tank material and hydraulics that integrate with your RAS filtration and water-quality plan.
These factors should be evaluated together because tank volume, biomass, oxygen demand and filtration capacity are interconnected. YUTANK engineers can evaluate them together before recommending a tank type and size.

RAS facilities can use PP, fiberglass, HDPE, concrete, galvanized steel and other tank structures. The appropriate tank depends on production scale, species, available space, water conditions and project requirements. YUTANK mainly supplies welded PP, modular reinforced PP and galvanized steel aquaculture tanks.
Circular tanks are commonly used for intensive RAS fish farming, but there is no single best tank for every project. Rectangular or customized tanks may be more suitable for hatcheries, holding systems or facilities with specific space constraints. Tank geometry should be selected together with the hydraulic and filtration design.
The best tank material depends on the application, project scale and installation requirements. PP offers corrosion resistance and high customization. Modular reinforced PP is useful for larger sectional tanks, while galvanized steel tanks with liners provide another practical solution for large-volume modular installations.
Yes. PP tanks are suitable for many freshwater and marine aquaculture applications. They provide good corrosion resistance and can be fabricated into customized shapes, dimensions and pipe configurations. The final tank specification should still be selected according to structural, water-quality and operating requirements.
Aquaculture tank size depends on species, production stage, target biomass, stocking density, water depth, feeding load and RAS filtration capacity. For commercial projects, tank capacity should therefore be evaluated as part of the complete production system rather than selected independently.
Yes. YUTANK supports customized aquaculture tank dimensions and configurations. Depending on the tank type and project, customization can include diameter, height, shape, inlet and outlet positions, drainage, overflow and pipe interfaces.
Aquaculture tank pricing depends on tank type, diameter, height, material thickness, liner or panel configuration, accessories, quantity, transportation and customization requirements. For an accurate quotation, send us your required tank size, quantity, application and project location.
