I never do a slow start up either as long as the pond isn't stratified. I feel some folks crank up their compressors far to early and keep them on far too late. With the exception of winter diffuser where you are just opening up a little water to let light in or blow off gases and create a higher D.O. area, what's the point in mixing the water naturaly if it's doing it naturally or the water column is saturated with oxygen?

Am I wrong?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
