Waiting for my soilfloc to arrive. Should be any day.
Measured water loss on Monday. I've lost 14.25" since Jan 1. Comes out to 1.676" per week. Obviously not enough loss to drain the pond and repair the entire base. Other ponds in the area have lost about half that amount. We had a couple of smaller snow falls during those two months. Not sure how much moisture that contributed to the water level. I'll be putting the rain gauge back out this week.
Supposed to get rain next week. I'd like to get the soilfloc down before the rains come in.
My pond sets low to surrounding hills, and is surrounded by trees. Very still in the evenings and mornings.


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
