Wow! I never would have thought this. Excellent idea! Thank you! I’m an absentee pond owner, so daily stuff is not an option, but I’ll do what I can do.
Thanks again,

Jeff, they make automated solar powered fish feeders....................


I’ve got a TX Hunter, but had some weird algae last summer, so I shut it down. I’ll start it back up in the spring. It’s the catching, and cutting up of HBG that I’ll have to get around. Obviously feeding the cut up HBG is essential in getting the HSB to target HBG. I’ll do that when I can, as often as I’m up there. Actually when I think about all the HBG we’ve tossed up into the woods, I’m going to start using those for food. I left my fish trap out overnight last summer, and the turtles found it. Paid the price for being lazy.


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
