After 3 days of Florence, 35" plus of rain, countless trees in the pond, she don't look so good right about now. Saw a bunch of LMB floaters getting munched on by snappers and found a few pan fish dead in the yard when the rain finally stopped enough for us to get outside.
My starting question is, when and if I should restart aeration? We are still on gen power, I could run the pond a little if a little would do a lot at limiting further damage. We will likely be another week without power and I am only running the gen about 10 hrs a day.
I'm guessing the initial kill was low o2?
1/4 acre, 10' average depth. runoff/ ground water fed.
My current version of aeration is 850 gph fountain type pump hanging 6' below a disk float. Before the storm I ran 24/7 and that kept everything fairly well balanced, for what it is. I know nothing I have is ideal but it is the best I can justify at this time, unfortunately.
I appreciate any input and advise,
Thanks,
