It looks like I've never made a thread for them.

We'll start with feed troubles....

I used to pay 120 or so.
Soon, that jumped, and is now unacceptablly high!

I started searching for a new feed. During, I discovered my food wasn't fishmeal first, ugh. But eventually found a food that was, and at an acceptable price. Ordered 4 bags for the year.

Start of the Covid price jumps...


Currently-
Nope!!!



What i was feeding, that jumped in price.


What I found and ordered. Seems a bit better, but we'll see. Idk if it has any fancy things, I just hope they like it.

Another recent problem. 4,500gal leaking in 9 days. Waiting for a dry day to peel the liner back and search for the hole...



More problems? Yup.
One pump broke early winter. Other is had to shut off because of the extra cold. Haven't tried to restart it yet to check for breaks. They're $600-700 pumps. I need to buy a different brand, but that requires changing pipe diameters.


20×30×4-4.5ft. 18,000-20,000 gallons.
