No worries Tracy. I don't make a living at this for sure. I will reiterate what I once told you. Since you are paying for help from people who have you on prescription, follow the prescription and don't deviate from it. This is especially true given what you have invested in this project.
I can't help my skeptical nature. It's just the way I am geared to think and I will challenge any hypothesis/conclusion that doesn't have support from evidence. I do have a different philosophy about pond management, this is for sure. I don't think the food chain is broken by the lack of formulated feed for example. I think population management is the best approach to meeting goals. And I think a pond should be managed to limit its biomass of fish to safe and sustainable levels that do not carry as much risk of fish kills. To me, this is the best way to approach pond management.
