I prefer the floating. I adjust the feeder to throw about 1/2 hr after sunrise and 45 min before sunset to right at sunset. No problem getting YP to feed on the floating pellets.

I'm guessing to get Optimal to make sinking feed in a big enough quantity to make it profitable for them, and not too expensive for us would be to get together and do a group buy of 5 tons or maybe more. They will make anything a person or group of people want, but everyone has to remember that machine set up/tear down/clean costs the same for 20 bags or for 5 tons of feed. So, I'm guessing the feed would have to be priced accordingly.

Looking at if from a business owner side of things. I sure wouldn't go make a 5 ton run of fish food if only 20 people wanted to buy 5 bags of food each this year. AND I've been on the business end of "I'll buy more later" and the orders have never showed up.
