Since I got the BioPod, I'm feeding a good bit more. As a result: (1) the BSF larvae have increased tremendously. (2) the amount of "tea" produced is probably 10-12 ozs per day. (3) the inside unit is hotter and the larvae are exiting before they are mature (black). (4) I have noticed a return of regular flies. (5) there is a smell that wasn't present before. I have rigged up a funnel into a milk jug in order to catch the tea. This helps me stay ahead of the tea production, but it exposes the tea smell (whereas the normal set-up doesn't), and I think that this is causing the return of the flies and the smell that I mentioned. My fish are loving the lighter larvae (although they eat the black with no hesitation), so all in all things are going good. I went fishing a couple of night ago at another lake and the BG loved the larvae. In the interest of different genitics, I caught about 20 little ones (2-3") and brought them back to my pond.
