FEATURES
One tank, many species, consistent performance
Built specifically for importers, the APS Importer Tank is a closed, recirculating live holding system that manages mixed species in a single footprint. Set the right temperature, and the system handles the rest.
1,000 lb Mixed-Species Capacity
Hold approximately one thousand pounds of product loose in-tank or in floating baskets — mix lobster, oysters, mussels, clams, eels, and flounder in one footprint.
Precision Temperature Control
Dial in the ideal temperature for the species you're holding and the system automatically maintains it within a tight range — hour after hour, day after day.
High-Performance Aeration
Top-quality aeration keeps dissolved oxygen at optimal levels for stressed imported product — critical when animals have just spent days in transit.
Closed-Loop Recirculation
RAS-style filtration controls solids and ammonia for long-term holding, so water stays clean between changes and product stays healthy.
Indoor-Ready Design
The base model is engineered for indoor facilities under 22°C ambient. Custom refrigeration and layout options are available for warmer rooms or unique sites.
Simple, Low-Maintenance Ops
Daily checks are basic. Water changes stretch from 2–6 weeks at start-up to 3–6 months once the system stabilizes. Your team runs it — no PhD required.

WHY IT MATTERS
Turn imported product into inventory, not a race against the clock
Importing live seafood should not mean rushing to move product before quality starts to drop. With the APS Importer Tank, you can hold your catch for months without jeopardizing its health, taste, or freshness so you can ship, re-pack, or redistribute on your schedule.
Reduce mortality & quality downgrades
Stable temperature and dissolved oxygen protect stressed animals from day one on arrival.
Sell on your schedule
Smooth out supply to match customer demand and pricing, rather than pushing product the moment it lands.
Accept bigger, more frequent shipments
Confidently take on larger loads knowing you have reliable holding capacity on the receiving side.
Protect margins on every load
Less shrink, fewer emergency sell-offs, more control over the products your customers pay a premium for.
