Thanks again for the great advice guys.

I plan on removing the LMB as discussed/recommended.

I plan on keep feeding the BG by hand until I get the feeder. The feed that I am using has the following analysis:

Crude Protein 42%
Crude Fat. 10%
Crude Fiber. 4%
Phosphorus. 1%
Ash. 8%

I'm unsure what all that means and don't know what the reaming 35% is made up from. Fairy dust maybe.

I will hold off on liming right now. (I think that's what you are are saying.)

Considering building a trap to start catching catfish to feed with.

Does that sound about right?
