Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Fish Kill

We've seen a small number of kills here in the last several weeks. I attribute it to pond turnovers. The top several feet of our pond and small lake thermoclines are in the mid-80s. I haven't measured lower, but I'm guessing that below about 5'-6', the water is in the 60s. Every couple of days we've been getting 2-4 inch thunderstorm rainfalls with really high winds that drop our air temps from the mid-90s to the low-70s in a matter of minutes.

This article (East Coast Flash Flooding) will give you an idea of what the weather has been like recently where Todd3138, Sunil, and I live.

I was in Wisconsin this past week and my wife called to say that water was coming in around our chimney and bathroom vents -- through a new and expensive roof we had installed three years ago.

I'm not surprised we've had fish kills in our area.
