After 10 years without an aerator on my 9ac pond in
Chester, S.C.,I have had a major fish kill- lost 3000+/- threadfin,500+/- BG,100+/- LM, and 30+/-HS. (I was amazed at the amount of threadfin as I stocked only once 4 years ago.) After two days of thunder storms the pond turned over last night. I am still smelling the stink from removing the carnage! I am very motivated to aerate to prevent this type of crash.
Will surface aerator be better than diffuser aerator to prevent crash? I believe diffuser will improve overall water quantity but I have been advised that surface aerator is better for preventing turnover crashes. Should I install both surface and diffuser? Your advice will be appreciated.
