Is this a good alternative for Tetra Pond pellets Spring &amp; Fall? I like the price.

These have been great for us...we have a mix of goldfish, koi, and bream and they all seem to enjoy this food.

I have a 3/4 acre pond. All good for fish,ducks and horses. I threw out half of the 5lb bag with a scoop from the bank down one side. Two weeks later I threw it out from the bank on the other side. Worked great.

I would remove any debris that is in the pond, leaves sticks acorns etc. Add some beneficial bacteria like Micro-lift HC. There are several choices to chose from. Call Fosters and Smith pet supply and they are helpful on telling you what you need. Have good prices too. Pond should be crystal clean in 2 weeks.

Yes. As many times as you want. Just buy replacement pellets, there are several different sizes, make sure you get correct size

I liked the Nomiku because of the way it hooks to the pot, and it is a little more powerfull which will mean that it will cycle less while keeping the temperature where you want it.I had a few questions and the factory people were very responsive, unlike Anova who ignored my email questions prior to my selection.Have fun! I use it at least 3 to 4 times a month now, instead of cooking fish in parchment , I use the plastic bag, which I can preload with stuff, and freeze, then unthaw a little and drop in the pot , comes out great!

The smaller pellets are about 3-4mm in size. If the fish are large enough to grab these, then you should be able to feed them. The food nicely floats on the surface allowing the fish to attack them as needed. I use them in an outdoor pond with Koi and they love it. The original / previous versions of the food were much larger pellets (about 2x) so make sure the ones you buy are the smaller pellets.

It all depends upon the small koi, my koi have had more koi and none of them seem to have had any trouble, but if your pond is full of only small baby koi then get a really small pellet, for them until they grow.

I just started using this brand in warmer temperatures, since winter may be over. I think is is great for the price. It attracts woodpeckers, titmouse, cardinals and other hungry birds. GREAT TO SEE AMAZON PRICES BETTER THAN WALL MART.I LIKE GIVING THE DELIVERY PEOPLE THE WORK (AT LEAST SOME OPPURTUNITY IS STILL LEFT TO WORK IN THIS COUNTRY,NAFTA SUCKS.

There isn't anything else you can use. Why would you? The pellets work great. Use nothing else when you use breeze system it is easy.

Amazon offers .22 cal 14.3 gr Crosman Premier pellets in 500 ct tin for $12.21, or 625 ct carton for $25.99. It's more cost effective to buy two of the 500 ct tins. I like these heavier pellets. They are more stable in flight and more accurate with great stopping power. Also flies at subsonic speed to reduce muzzle crack if noise is an issue

Lime pellets are the same size as fertilizer, ice melt, etc. Should work just fine.

I opened this tub in February 2013. The expiry date is this month and I'll bin it before the New Year. I've had no problems. The tub seals well, the pellets smell fresh and bettas still gobble them up. I only give them each 3 pellets at a time and feed twice a day. I wish the tubs were smaller, hating waste, maybe the manufacturers should be giving this some consideration.

I've used several and did a test of my own on what I have and my favorite is the pellet that has a small copper BB on top. I have it right here but there's no name. It was the more accurate and I have the Predator Polymag, 16 grain. They are lead with the red plastic pointed insert on top. The one I like for distance is the RWS, Hyper Velocity Pellet. Green plastic with the I believe lead pointed top. Do you know how to make not so snug pellets more snug? Carefully put a BB at the open/bottom end of pellet, tap ever so lightly with a gunsmith hammer and it will spread it out a little. Check the fit. Might take a few tries. Gives better FPS. Good luck and have fun! I've used several and did a test of my own on what I have and my favorite is the pellet that has a small copper BB on top. I have it right here but there's no name.

I feed my fish once a day and it works great. I have an automatic feeder and the pellet size is perfect. It is especially great because it is one of the few that I found that are sinking pellets. I have overflows for my tank and floating food wouldn't work well.

I don't see why not if you are buying the smaller pellets and the fish are already big mouthed. For instance, these don't work well with guppies whose mouths are too small. The fish need to be able to grab the pellets. The pellets don't muddy the water so a tank should be fine. Is there room in your tank for the fish to jump at the pellets without hitting the top of the tank? The pellets will float on the water. They are designed for fish that have colors like Koi and large goldfish. Have you considered purchasing the flakes?

It depends on the size of your pond. Dosage isn't super critical, since nobody knows the exact size of their pond. Mine was approximately 2,500 gallons. In late fall when the water temp got close to 50° (that's when most bacteria becomes dormant), I put in half the Microbe Lift, and a week or two later put in the second half, plus the dry packs. The stuff works.

I tried several substitutes and nothing worked as well. I finally decided the pellets were the best for the system. I did, however, decide to use fewer pellets since my cat decided that flinging them out of the box would be fun. I have been able to get a bag to last two months instead of one.
