This forum sure brought back memories! I remember when I got my aerator and put it in my pond for the first time. There were no fish in it yet, and it really smelled bad, like rotten eggs. I put it clear down to the bottom, 17 feet deep. Now it runs 24/7. I don't want to go through that again now that it has fish in it. The way things are going, to save money I might shut it down next winter. I dont have that many fish in it.


Go for it!!
