The new fish feeder was put on the tripod yesterday and the bottom is 18 inches above the water.
The only modification I made was to put a 6" dia. piece of stovepipe in the center of the feed bucket and add feed only in the stove pipe so that the feed level will be reduced quicker hopefully avoiding any clogging from feed sitting too long.
There's enough feed in the pipe to last atleast a week at the rate I'm feeding.
If I have any problems with the feeder I'll post it.
