Hey Ziggy,

RC here, Hey glad to see your using my air system setup. Unless you made a couple of mods to it though it may be a little small for your size pond? My system that I built was setup more for a pond about 1.5 acres or less. Just FYI on that.

I am no expert either and maybe one of them will chime in here but, I am wondering if you have only had water in that BOW since Feb. maybe you got way to many things going on in that pond and now it's blazing hot out too??? That's a very new pond and it's going through a lot of changes still trying to establish itself. I may be way off base, but lets think about this for a second.

New pond never had water in it until Feb. So it's basically 4 months old or so.

1. The Eco system in that pond is changing and changing fast right now.
2. Then you went ahead and threw 3000 fish in it and started feeding them.
3. All of a sudden it going through it's first HOT, summer also.

4. You have water coming in from a creek that you really not to sure about except the water test looks ok?

I don't know you see where I am going with this? Maybe it's just a cycle it's going through being it's so new of a pond. I don't know for sure that's just my thoughts. Like I said not an expert but if your fish are fine and the water test is fine and everything else is ok then I wouldn't panic, I know there are a few guys out here that have had some issues with this too. Maybe they will chime in and help.

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
