Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - AquaMax ....anyone else

experiencing quality problems?

I have been using AquaMax 500 since 2012 with no complaints. 2 years ago my feeder started grinding the 500 into chips and powder. I tore into it and found multiple clods of the 500 and lots of powder. I called AquaMax and was treated very fairly by replacing all my food and some extra bags.

Last year I bought my stock and had the same problem of clods and food grinding from the Texas Hunter 70 lbs fish feeder. Called again and was told that by the code & date, it was made at a different plant that normally doesn't make fish food.

I started sifting the bags but the feeder still grinds the food. I have taken the feeder apart at least 4x and can't find the problem. Any thoughts? Thanks

Handthrown is expensive, but in my experience well worth it. Larger fish can get substantial meals without as much competition from BG and small fish. Optimal 1 inch feed has stayed good for a year in my trailer, better than little pellets.

While a few giant BG & CNBG will try to take the big chunks, LMB and HSB dominate. Turtles have a harder time stealing them, too.
