Mike, thanks for the post. I was going to give you a call but before I got to it I ordered Pond Boss magazine and found this site and have been having fun getting everyone's input. I have contacted Robert by seperate E-mail and told him I'll give him a call when the ice goes out. Your suggestion seems to be the consensus. I will be interested to see how the plantings come up in the spring as the algae really covered everything by fall last year and seemed to effect greatly the plant growth. The lilies did come up and seemed to do well. Jim Loveless and I just hauled pea gravel and placed on the ice last week for bedding areas so that is all set for spring. The bass are now about 12 inches and bluegills about 5 inches so they did well over the summer, alas the trout experiment failed...Where can I get a good thermometer-do you carry them? I didn't see one in your catalog.
