QA if it takes a setup like the J pipe to make this lake work I will do it. I am hoping there is a simpler solution. MNFish is doing a bunch of experimentation and is hopefully going to post his results. All things considered I think his conditions are very very comparable to mine. I have deeper water, he has much colder temps, I have a lot more snow and we both get about the same ice thickness. I have the elevation thing, but not sure that means much more than a de-rate for compressors. All in all I think any testing he does to prove things out will work for my place as well.
None of my small experiments this winter will gather enough repeatable data to draw any solid conclusions!
I really like that j-tube design or some variation for my shallow ponds! I would like to find a 4-5" membrane diffuser and prototype one this winter.
