I was asking about 32 quart sized tubs thought, but still 4 inches doesn't cover 1/3 of that. I also see Ralph Davis videos where his freedom breeders and ARS racks with adult tubs only use 3 inches. It obviously works, but it doesn't make sense to me that people recommend 1/3 and at the same time use 4" for everything hatchling to adult tubs... I don't understand it.
doesnt make sense to me either.
I've used 11" with great results and my bps I find are not as picky eaters as they used to be. I'm in ND and our temps are not always high, so maybe its a climate thing but I wouldnt use anything but 11".
I suppose to each his own. Depends on your situation and what works for you.
