it was my first time trying it with the cage. I also ran the well water thru a degasser system prior to entering the cage. I also covered the cage with foam and skirted the sides about 2 feet down into the water. In the end it was no use! I spent less than $500 and had about the best system possible for my Brook Trout for the 3 months they were in the tank in one of my out buildings and growth was amazing! I also was able to use a lot less of my well water/hydro by doing the tank setup and this year I will be adding an even larger pressure tank for my re-circulation system and will cut the hydro bill down even further!
