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

They are definitely comparable to Tetra Pond Pellets. They may even been of a slightly higher quality.

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

Its been awhile since I had the feeder but I do know the sticks would have worked ok but I think it was designed for larger pellets. It should be noted the feeder NEEDED a funnel/hopper so that the food could be controlled a bit better as it was the food just falls out. There was holes cut in the bottom that I think would be where the funnel mounted but nothing was included. This is for a large pond as it will shot the food a good distance main reason I returned it I have a small pond.

I don't think pellets will clog. It never did for me. I would be very carful with cones. I just brewed an IPA and it work like a charm. I recommand you put a valve to control the amount of water going in because it's most of the time too cold coming out! Chilled 80L in 10 minutes!!! Cheers! Have fun.

I would think that this pellet would be ideal for squirrel hunting because of it's penetration and full expansion, being a hollow point. Happy hunting

There are really no lead-free pellets that have impressed me yet. They're all inferior in both economics and accuracy. Is your concern for lead because of a local or state law or an issue with the possibility of lead consumption? If it's because of lead consumption, the velocities at which pellets impact is low enough that lead does not fragment. If you're dead-set on lead free, buy a box/tube of each and try them. Pick the most accurate. I've heard mixed reviews about them all, and I would think barrel fit is more important than it is in lead.

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!

I suppose you could...It's in pellet form but I think it's best to use a feeder to keep it dry and control the amount you are using.I have two setup using the Wilco Ground Squirrel Bait stations. I killed off the Ground Squirrels a long time ago but continueto use it to control the Voles here (Nevada)...

My husband was pleased with the pellets. Not sure if they are the same, I couldn't find what he wanted and decided on these. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

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

It's a really good pump/waterfall set. Just be careful not to run the lawn mower over the pumps cord - that's sadly what happened with mine and I haven't found a better pump since to replace it - I may be buying another one of these in the near future. Good luck with your pond

Pellets vary in different areas but you can find them at Home Depot, Tractor Supply, Lowe's, etc. Lowe's has them now for $5.58 for 40 pounds, $5.19 at Lowe's. Buying in bulk is a savings usually. Here's an article that might help you calculate the cost; http://homeguides.sfgate.com/much-cost-run-pellet-stove-67241.html

Everyting but the water filter pellets. Have to buy those yourself. There should he a bought together frequently suggestion. I've had this since last fall, and it's been great. Only complaint is that my resting rubber pad that came with it blisters up if it gets too hot, even though I don't keep my iron on my ironing board any more while it's in use and have a cooling rack beneath the resting rubber pad. Might want to buy your own....

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.

Absolutely, they would love it I'm sure! We don't have fish in ours but we have a small filtration pump which keeps it quite clean & I put clarifier in when it clouds a bit which causes debris to fall to the bottom. Depending on where you live I have heard that herons may come by & grab a gold fish out of the pond like it's a suchi bar so people put screen over the top.

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.

The best way to buy quantity would be to use Barley Straw extract. The product is made by Crystal Clear in a 2.5 gallon container that treats 160,000 gallons of water. But if this is a natural pond fed by a spring or stream with a flow going out of it, I don't have confidence that Barley straw or extract will accomplish your goals. I would recomend the airmax Pond Logic "Clear Pack" with ClearPond, Muck Away and perhaps also with Algae products.
