I'm in the process of weighting my floating thermometer so I can monitor those temps at different intervals like QA's been doing.

My diffuser is 22" off the bottom, but I don't have a plate between the diffuser and the milk crates that support it. I'm thinking I'm most likely pulling up everything from the bottom and there won't be any stratification. I'll know for sure, maybe this evening. Reason I think that is I see a lot more catfish bubbles coming up where they're rummaging around the bottom more.

Overall visibility hasn't decreased any more, still hovering between 24-30", but the color is more turbid green now. Fish have definitely taken to the changes as feeding has been very energetic, even after this last little front that passed thru.
