Well, guys, I am one week in with aeration and I have to say that so far, it hasn't been very nice. Even though I thought I was starting it off super slow, I obviously wasn't slow enough because I lost about 25 of my biggest BG and did who knows what damage to this year's spawn. I know things will settle down and improve eventually, but right now, my pond looks the worst it ever has. The water is super muddy and covered with a bubbly scum like I used to see in my marine aquarium protein skimmer. Overall, it just looks terrible. I just had gall bladder surgery so I haven't had a chance yet to go in the boat and check the temps, but I will as soon as I can. I guess I just wasn't prepared for the big initial negative changes, but I'm hopeful that things improve soon. Just sort of depressing right now.
