Small Pond - Big Heat - will aeration help ? - 08/15/18 08:48 PM
Small pond 50' x 50' - and 8-9 feet deep. Water stained - no plant life. Used to raise minnows and crawdads. Prolonged 90-100 degree weather here has made for some pretty ugly surface water - one condition I will call "floating pea soup" (I am sure there is a more appropriate name for it) and the other is a clear sheen to the surface of the water with some bubbles mixed in. Usually one or the other appears each day. I am concerned if this continues I might get a major fish kill ??
Wondering if some type of aeration would help ease these conditions ? If so - recommendations ? I have power 200' away - also the ability to manually add water via long hose, but by the time it gets there will be around 80 degrees.
