small pond in the heat of summer - 07/16/15 05:55 PM
Long time lurker...always just read posts. Now my own!!;)
small 1/4 wildlife pond I built last fall. ~~~7 foot in the deep end!! RAINWATER FED!!! Put in 100~~~ 5" to 7" channel cats. And 2lbs of fatheads. I have a solar powered deer feeder in its previous life that I use for daily dose of floating pellets. Pond stays full as we have been getting plenty of rain lately. BUT A MONTH AGO SAY A DEAD FISH...AND THIS WEEK 2 DEAD CATFISH they are about 12 to 13 inches now!!!... do I need aeration????
the pond is built in the woods and shady over half the day!!! But with 95 deg days...I am sure it is heating up ;(....I can run a 10/2 wire with ground on top of ground temporary to get power of I need to?....something I can use without running my power bill so much at CAMP!!! thanks!!!
