I'm following a prescription almost exactly like yours for my 8 acre pond. I stocked 10,000 2" CNBG/RES plus FHM and GS in November of 2009 then I put 250 2" LMB in the pond last June. I've got 4 Texas Hunter feeders throwing AquaMax up to 3 times per day. My annual spend is about $2500 for AquaMax ($33/bag) and I'm only using it as a supplement - the fish clean it up FAST and I could easily double or triple my annual spend. Good luck getting Threadfins. I'm 0 for 2 getting them delivered over the past two years.


3 Ponds: 8.5 acres, 1.5 acres, 0.5 acres
