Thanks for chiming in Mr. Cody. Your insight of DO saturation at depth will be beneficial for any future considerations. If you could offer some of your experience regarding water temps, I for one, would be very grateful.
As stated earlier, I think I'm ok for now, but my concern is that I'm pushing the boundaries of what may be safe, temperature wise.
Short of infusing cooler well water into the pond, there's not much else I can do to reduce the heat if I'm going to aerate the pond. Being a small pond, some things happen much faster than on large BOWs, temps being the most obvious.
I guess my question would be how much can I reduce temps at once and not be detrimental?
