Bill I am actually fairly certain Brian is NOT aerating his lake. He has been talking about installing aeration, but as far as I know he hasn't installed it yet.
I would like to propose an idea and hear theories on what y'all think the results would be.
What if I took a diffuser disc pushing 2 CFM and in 10' of water I suspended the disc ~18" under the waters surface. Once ice formed and assuming I kept a hole open, how far down the water column would the DO reach??
Would the colder water, that had been exposed to air, float on top of what should be the 39 degree water on the bottom?
If this would work, I could get even more air out of my pump while simultaneously drawing less power! That would be a huge win alone. If it would also keep my bacteria from consuming all my DO then it's a grand slam.
