Thanks for posting Mrs. deaner. Praying for your continued healing. My pond is in Tylertown, so basically the same. Post amended to reflect one of the aeration gurus(Cary martin) suggestion that at surface temps of 52, start aeration as bacteria begin their processing of nutrients at that temp. and use O2 during this time.
I believe ya'll have a good many catfish which can handle lower dissolved oxygen. Unless you think you have a high density of them and/or a lot of larger ones.
Refresh us on the size and depth of pond if you can, and what species are in it. Maybe an early post of Mr. Deaner. It will be OK to turn it on when you start feeding a good bit.
