i'm thinking some bass .. since they spend more time at the bottom they
might have a chance.

Anyway, I made a bit more accurate measurements. Looks like its about
260 feet of head and I cut a more direct path for the water line so thats
down to about 350 feet

if i can flow 15 gpm I get roughly
280 watts
(using / #How%20much%20power)

I should be able to hit 15 gpm.. possibly much more

so thats not bad at all considering my energy usage.

i'm actually filling it even in the middle of the dry season.. just about
a foot so far, but its filling! Supposed to be showers on wed

now just have to figure out how to keep bears from chewing up the pipes..
man they love that black plastic water line.
