I just finished my first run through Ohio/Indiana and will be making my second run this weekend.
Rainman, I would have taken you up on that however I have already ordered from a different source. Thanks

Not in my opinion, because, except for the weight of originally stocked tilapia, all "new" Tilapia weight came from nutrients consumed in the pond...no net gain or loss of matter. It's just that the nutrient is in a changed form.
If you stocked 20 pounds in the half acre pond described in this thread, that 20# is the only additional load. All growth and reproduction is supported by currently present nutrient. If feeding fish, that would not be the case as the weight of feed would be a new nutrient load.
If you use Copper Sulfate to kill algae, there is no new nutrient load from the decay and regrowth. There is however, an increased BOD during the decay process. I sent you a pm a couple days ago. I was wondering if you saw it or not.

Well I finally stocked my Blue Tilapia yesterday. My issue right now is that we are having a cold front coming through. My water temp dropped to 55. And the temp is going down to 47 tonight. Should I turn off my aerator for a couple of days to try and keep some heat in?

They'll be fine. I think the aerator will cool the water down even more by exposing more of the water to the cooler temperatures.
