I've read that pond aeration should begin in several steps when using an aeration system for the first time. For instance, areate for 30 minutes the first day, 1 hour the second, two hours the third, etc. I'm okay with doing this, and am in the process of doing it, but was just curious as to why I shouldn't just turn the aerator on and let it run constantly.

Another question: I have just restocked my pond. So I have nothing but tiny fingerlings in it. Does this matter, or should I still follow the time schedule?

I appreciate any and all comments.
