Bill,
Yes, I was feeding Aquamax 400, 500 & 600 mixture all the way up to April when the water temperature started to warm and FA took over my pond, up to 85% coverage. At this point, the feed could not reach the water so I cut off the feeder. I fed 5 times a day with the timer set on 1 second in the morning and 2 second in the evening. I have a Texas Hunter as my feeder.
I did witness the HSB & CC and a few CNBG feeding all winter long so my thought process was to carry on carrying on.I had a bloom for 2-1/2 years straight until the FA took over. As I pulled the FA out near the bank, the water was tannin brown and could see 3-4 feet deep.
I am in the process of battling the excess nutrients with culture bacteria and did spray about 40% of the surface of the pond with Cutrine about 2 weeks ago. Hopefully I will be able to catch a few more before the water temperature reaches it stressful limit for the trout.
