I have a 1 acre pond that will be 2 years old in October. I stocked it last Spring. (FH/CNBG/LMB) I just installed a Kasco 3 diffuser system this past weekend. Day 1, 30 min, Day 2, 1 hour, Day 3, 2 hours and today, 4 hours. Since then, I have had about 5 or 6 of my biggest BG float. I checked each one and none had any visible sign of injury by GBH, cormorant, etc., so I am assuming that they died as a result of toxic conditions caused by the startup. Granted, in the grand scheme of things, 5-6 fish are no big deal, however, I am curious if others have experienced the same when starting up. Should I continue with the "double it everyday plan," or should I slow it up some?
Thanks.
