As an update, The deep diffuser is still off with the 3 shallows still running aggressively. I've found no more dead fish since Sunday and have removed as many as possible but with the temps near 100 it got too stenchy and they're decaying fast (great, even more fertilizer in a nutrient-rich pond).

The best part about the die-off is how many dead grass-carp I found, some nearing 10 lbs or better.

Working with Ted at Cleanponds.com, we've come to the conclusion there's not one factor alone that caused this but a combinaton of many things making up as Ted said "the perfect storm".

I'm very encouraged that I'm on the right track even though one dead fish is one too many, but things are looking good from here.

The FA is under much better control as I can now run my trolling motor throughout the pond without clogging up although the hydrilla is getting very thick in spots. Another issue for later. Right now just focused on healthy waters.

Baby steps but I think we're making progress.

PB rocks!
