Foster-Lucas tanks

The Foster-Lucas tank is a circular tank made of concrete or polyester, specifically designed to optimize water circulation and facilitate the collection of waste and fish excreta. Named after the Foster-Lucas design, it features a rotational hydraulic flow, created by a tangential water inlet, allowing natural self-cleaning of the tank bottom.
