On a positive note, the buzzards I think were happy today.
I am impressed with your dedication to managing the "total ecosystem"! Still sorry about your fish kill though.
For a separate positive note - based on your postings I believe part of your pond management efforts are due to a pursuit of knowledge. I hope you enjoy starting a new project on the RES/SMB pond now that it has become a blank slate. If so, then I expect some entertaining Pond Boss postings in the future!
