Thanks for the detail.
The HSB story is absolutely exciting!
A few questions as I get more impatient about stocking it...
1. Earlier you mentioned that you put the FHM in the year before. is that necessary, OR, can you put them in at the same time as initial stocking?
2. # of HBG - you mention 500. on all the fish farm webistes i've visited that is grossly over the suggested qty for .25 avres. in fact, on the Harrison website
http://harrisonfishery.com/stockCalculator.htm it suggested only 63 HBG. I have no intent of adding CC - so, does the increase in HBG offset the removal/absence of CC?
3. and finally, did you add the HSB at the same time as HBG? the place i'm getting them from don't appear to have HSB. Should I relce with LMB, or nah....and how many if so?
4. I'm a fan of starting bigger - any drawbacks to starting with 3-5" BG ( or HBG)instead of 1-3"?
5. What about adding Redear?
A "truck" is near Thursday of this week

any other thoughts of suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks
