Yes, I am a bit confused as well. After a typical Texas day, the top foot of water will be very hot. The night temps will be much lower than the surface water temp. That was why I wanted to aerate from 2-6 AM, to cool the surface temps. Also, I believe DO is lowest then?
Wanting to put some HSB in just for fun, maybe to catch during cooler weather.
I have a trolling motor and could use it as described, except for the fact that I have a wife. Even though it is "my" pond, she still holds ultimate veto power. So, I need a system that I can either hide most of the components, or make it pretty.
Happy wife, happy life.
Married 41 years, would like to make it 42.
