I am tired of keeping my 30000. gal. swimming pool up and want to start rasing tilapia in it . I am new to this forum, can anyone give me some advise on this ? I haven't put any chem in it since last summer . It is good and green and has plenty of leaves in the bottom . I live in near houston tx. so I think it is warm enough now. Would appreciate any info .

well you learn something new everyday!
i could do with some advice on my new tank if possible,
800 litre tank with fx5 running for 3 days now with a few small fish added on day 2, i also have a fluval 405 running for 2 months in a 180litre tank with my quetzals. i want to move the quetzals in asap!!!
would moving the 405 over with the fish enable me to do this???
thanks
