No or low natural light will change the way the color appears. Could be iron as it responds to light as brown in water. Does look a little turbid. Thanks for the pics. Those guys have grown a bunch. Yeah it's deceptive. BTW the board of animal health is picking up 60 for VHS testing Thursday morning. At least $300.00 worth of fish that will be slaughtered and $300.00 in testings fees. Gotta love the government. No VHS has ever been found on a fish farm but we are the ones that have to test.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Yes; but it looks like I will sell them all wholesale in one shot out of state as I have an interested buyer. Didn't find anyone intrastate that was interested.
Tank water was filthy this morning. Did a major water change and clean out of screens. Even found a few snails blocking the drain.
I decided to move the larger better feeding fish in the smaller tank to a floating cage.
This makes for less suspended and settleable solids in the system and more filtration capability. I now have the capability of 100 gallons of iron free, room temp, and same PH water per day for the one 300 gallon tank.
I have a cleaning siphon coming any day I will use religiously daily. Or it will show me how to build a larger more powerful one Home Improvement style!
Next year if temps are not so hot I will probably opt for a flow through where one continuously gets fresh water and only has to lift a stand pipe occasionally to flush out waste. Feed training a high densities of small fish it just to messy without adequate filtration and flow! Very labor intensive!

You should get a good price. I've been offered a good price. If that should fall through I have two other parties interested.

Cecil, any progress on getting you SMB to take dry feed? I forced the issue with the remaining SMB in my RAS system and most of them are now taking AM500 off the surface.

Cecil, any progress on getting you SMB to take dry feed? I forced the issue with the remaining SMB in my RAS system and most of them are now taking AM500 off the surface. Shorty, Start out with hydrated feed and pinch it so it sinks. Then go to hydrated feed that is not pinched that floats. Once you get a good response with each of of these you go to mixed floating hydrated and dry feed. Then progress to dry feed. You may have to get them hungry for the last step. Don't feed for a couple of days and see how they respond.
