Since my aeration system is only weeks old, I haven't had much time to see just what kind of effect it has on BGA yet. I've had a phenomenal amount of fresh water coming into the pond this past week or so, all from runoff of my property as well as the neighbor's. So far, no negative influences.

I did increase the run time from 6 hours to 8 two days ago. Primarily due to all the cloud cover and lower surface temps. The only major change from adding more run time I've witnessed is the water is just slightly more cloudy. Whether from more bottom disturbance or the influx of this runoff, it's hard to say. I have noticed that with the water remaining more turbid, my FA has slowly gotten better.

It'll be interesting to see if it has any affect on BGA as time goes on.
