... We have 6 KW of solar panels setting in the garage and workers are slowly (due to the heat) installing the wiring and hopefully putting the panels up on the roof next week. That should cut our electric bill considerably.

Hopefully. I recently read there is a huge infestation of defective and/or low quality Chinese-made solar panels in the US and Europe. The US solar panel industry collapsed, it couldn't compete -- it's gone. (Reference Solindra.) China subsidize her photovoltaic industry resulting in very cheap (both price and quality) solar panel exports that just creamed the US competition. One major solar panel installer in the US is now setting aside 25-cents of every dollar of income just to replace Chinese solar panels due to defects. Panels that should last 20-25 years are crapping out in 2 to 4 years. The article did not mention any specific Chinese-made solar panel brands.

Mine were made in Germany.

Where did you get the automatic fish feeder?
I am looking for a reliable feeder for a system I put together for a church.
I am unable to get out there a lot so I need a good feeder system that will feed about 25 tilapia.
