I made a new BSF pod from a 55g drum. It had the top and the bottom still on so I cut a door in the bottom and put a screen over one of the holes in the top, then put it at a 30 deg angle with the screened hole down. I put a collection bucket at the top of the slope near the door. I had a pod started in a 5g bucket and transferred it in to the new pod. I was getting about 20 BSF a day until today when I put some guides on the slope to help the BSF crawl into the bucket. Today I came home and found about 300 in the bucket. What was happening was the BSF would crawl up the slope until reaching the ridge in the drum then turn and try to climb around the circumference of the drum instead of up the slope. At some point they would fall off and roll back to the bottom. The guides appear to have fixed the problem. I will post pix soon. If this crawl off rate continues I wont need to feed any pellets to my fish anymore.
