We have been only aerating in the evenings except for the initial phases of 1-2 hours a day. After that point when we got into the 4 and 6 hours a day period we began only running it in the evening.

Like RC said previously it would stand to reason if the trout are surviving then there must be some albeit probably low levels of oxygen in the deep. fter suprisingly holding on to them for more than 2 years now I'm hesitant to change anything down there unless a DO meter tells me otherwise.

once temps drop for the fall/winter would it then be safe to aerate the entire thing without risk to the trout ? provided we make it through a turnover.
