thanks very much for the input eric. another thought i had was to use a high pressure nozzle and spray the stream high into the air and arch it over so it splatters into pond. (i have a very steep slope extending some 40 feet above pond to a water supply, so the water would be dropping in from 50 or 60 feet above current pond level).
i spoke w/ bruce offline, he gave me another idea to very slowly and incrementally add dye (well below normal dosages) over a 10 to 20 day period to slowly kill the thick plankton bloom and ward off a plankton or vegetation die off and O2 crash (should we get a cold front or something). his recommendation was to maintain the aeration schedule as is and dont artificially cause large temperature shifts (which might cause a sudden vegetation/plankton kill).
