Bob, trust me brotha, I did everything but a raindance on that clay pack. I know thats not the problem any more. But what I was tryin to say i guess is, do you think it's normal to lose that much it's like i put a stick on the water level and overnight it lost 1 centemeter then i reposistion again and again 1 cenitmeter. I guess the answer i'm look for is, is it fixed?, is this just evap. or could there be another leak? I dont think so but i wanna hear what anyone has to say. The dam was dry and the clay on top of the dam was cracking and turning into rocks. so i added water 3 times a day on the enitre dam to keep the top surface area wet. I busted my chops on this little '' beep'' i hope it works ..thanks man
