What do you guys think about leaving diffuser and fence for this winter and putting the aeration on a timer to run 1/2 or 2/3rd time depending on temperature. So the hole will freeze and open up to current size but not get bigger. The clear ice would still be good for dO2.

Moving diffuser by the spoil pile/ island would be my next choice if anything falls in it would be able to get out there easy and it would circulate enough 02.

Experts say you shouldn't have the diffuser in the deepest part of your pond to protect your warmest water like Bob Lusk mentioned above
