We started playing music for them this year, they love rock and roll.


What are you doing for mechanical and biofiltration Todd? Is that a stand pipe screen in the middle?

BTW we have a few know-it-alls up here that are pooh poohing using tilapia for algae control in ponds. Never mind they've never tried it or know anyone that does.

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