Can you tell us what your water temperature is? That might give us a better idea where the BG could be in the water column.


Thanks for the welcome,
I need to get myself a thermometer to check. I know the bottom stays pretty cool since I have to pump so much water from my well into the pond since it leaks so darn bad. I did feel the top water and it felt pretty good the other day but hard to say actual. Maybe it's a good time to get what fish I have left out and try to find my leakers.
