Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions TO DYE OR NOT TO DYE

I am no expert but I dont think pond dye will help with water temps it might some if its dark enough but not enough to make a real difference. It blocks UV to help plants from growing and colors your water to keep the sun from penatrating into the water to deter plant growth. There are mixed opinons out here about pond dye. Some use it and like some don't like it at all because of the negatives that come with the positives of pond dye. Pond dye pretty much kills your micro food chain which really is needed for the starting stages of your food chain. Someone else here I am sure can explain it better but as far as I know is will not reflect heat.
