FHM, HSB, HBG, and RES are the only fish inhabitants.

Esshup just posted some O2/temps for his Indiana pond and the water was getting down to 34 degrees F.

http://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=501500#Post501500

I don't have any experience with O2 readings and don't know what fish are in his pond, but just looking at the water temps...34 degrees F is so close to freezing (assuming 34 is acceptable) that monitoring the temps and catching it in time to change the aeration schedule would be difficult with such a small window beteen his 34, your 33, my 36 degrees and actuall freezing.

My gut still suggests that keeping a small hole is marginally effective, but also low risk in potential harm considering this areas lack in ice coverage and extended cold weather.


Fish on!,

MNFish2 Did you ever make and post the video of making your solar aeration setup? I found the posts that describe your system and how you made it. I had them in a file for the Archives Common Q&A section that I was creating about solar aeration. I added this thread to that list. Great informational posts - good work all around about this.

Thank you for the compliments Bill! I hope this helps others that don't have any other options, i.e no grid power access. I never shot the video but maybe this spring.

Jr- My wife is really upset now you got me posting info here again. "More forum stuff and more outdoor guys to talk on the phone with...GREAT!".... wink grin
