As seen in Time Magazine!
Octaform aquaculture tanks are ideal for recirculating aquaculture systems.

An Octaform tank wall is formed and protected in one step.
- No added coatings or finishes.
- No additional trades required.
- Adaptable design.
- Build tanks of almost any degree or radius.
- Create sumps and sideboxes.
- Mount equipment within the wall prior to concrete placement or attach to finished wall.
- Durability.
- Finished Wall Panels protect concrete from chemicals, mold and mildew.
- An installation friendly system.
- Octaform components slide together quickly and easily.
- No special tools or skills required.
- Rebar can be tied and inspected easily prior to concrete placement.
- Cost effective shipping.
- Flat-stacking components minimize shipping of air for cost effective worldwide transportation.

6 sided is a better design, they can be butted up against each other. Saves room, makes better use of all available space.

@KingRyltar Yes, agreed, 6 sided or 8 sided tanks offer great advantage with space optimization, and eliminates sharp angles from square or rectangular tanks.

can you do radius forms ??

[OctaformSystemsInc]

@farstarfilm Yes we can do radius forms and have done so in the past. Feel free to give us a call directly, and we can explain further: 1-888-786-(OCTA)6282 or info@octaform.com.

How large are these tanks? Can this air-crete or foam concrete be used to produce a tank with a capacity of 50,000 gallons? What is the expense of this system vs concrete and re-usable forms?

[OctaformSystemsInc]

@jgore27 Thank you for your inquiry. We have built concrete forms for tanks that are over 3 million gallons, so yes, we can certainly build a tank with a capacity of 50,000 gallons. We look forward to hearing from you. You can contact us directly at: 1-888-786-(OCTA)6282 or info@octaform.com.

seems very expensive design. How long does it take to assembly one tank?

@madscirat Thanks for your comments! Those are great suggestions, we'll look into it!

Very cool system. I like the modular wall structure. You could even build a semi integrated pond with areas for fry and adults.

Keep up the good work!
