Bill, wish I had the guts to experiment and turn the aerator off and just plow the snow. I gotta believe that letting light in to accomplish the same thing is highly dependent upon a number of other conditions. For instance biological load. If Wood's pond was small with a lot of fish it may not have worked I would guess. I originally ran aeration because that's what "experts" told me I needed. I have a lot of fish. Can I assume while aeration may be overkill it is the "safe" approach?
