1What happens under the ice with these big fellas as far as water quality?
2 You shutdown the well in the fall I presume?
3 Do you feed at all during winter?
4How many turnovers per night with aeration in the summer?
5How much do you aerate in winter?
Sorry for the questions but this is exciting my brain.
No problems under the ice.
Didn't feed before this winter with no problems. However this winter I fed them in the open water created by a shallow diffusser every 4 to 5 days.
I shut down the well during the winter.
The pond turns over about 65 percent per 24 hours. 45 gpm X 24 hrs. = 64,800 gal divided by volume of pond @ 100,000 gal = 64.8 %.
Aeration in winter is 24/7 with one air stone in shallow water.
