I think most of the time when something like this happens we myself included could 90 percent of the time look in the mirror to find the cause of our fish kill......

It does appear that the folks with commercial interests at Scott�s meetng are beating up on the DIY folks, but I am sure this is not intentional.
I do know that all the science and engineering being quoted above cannot control all of the variables nature throws at a real world situation.

To correct the record, my fish kill stated above by RC51 was not the result of falure of a Vertex system, but a record drought changing a 2 acre pond into 1 acre pond with 2 acre biomass.
A bottom diffuser aeration system alone cannot prevent a fish kill under these circmstances.
