Our pond is not very large probably about 1/4 acre. It is deep about 15' in middle. Yes, there was about 10" of snow on the pond.at times, and the ice was was thick at least 4". But, we have had winters in the past, as bad, and never a fish kill such as this. Now I don't know what to do??
Just a few more questions:
How old is the pond? Is there a lot of "muck" on the bottom?
Did it have a high density of fish before the winterkill?
Do you have a lot of macrophytes and or algae especially going into winter?
What size is your compressor -- I assume you are using a bottom diffuser?
Hang in there. I believe we can come up with a plan to prevent this in the future if we have all the details.
