Some news that's exciting for me anyway...
My horizontal aeration pond is clearly cooler than my regular ponds.
The surface temperature two afternoons ago was 71.5 F. and the other ponds were at 74.5 degrees. While this may not seem significant, it could be the difference between life and death for some cooler water fish.
Anybody in Texas who wants to have some smallies, or in Nebraska who wants yellow perch, or in Michigan and wants rainbow trout might be able to benefit from this.
I am currently running the surface agitator during the night to add oxygen, but not heat to the pond. The sweeper nozzles are running 24/7, but still only 16 gpm between two nozzles. Very encouraging.
Not water skiing squirrels were noted.
