Hi guys, once again I'm looking for advice. I have a 4 year old very small pond, 1/4 acre. I have an aerator, but no well. I have catfish and HBG in it, a small number of LMB, and some darn bullhead snuck in also. North Texas heat and no rain has taken me down to ~2-3' of water. I lost a 3# LMB, 10 4#Catfish, and 36 HBG this week and I've mentally put myself into a total kill. It sucks to put fish in at 2", feed them for 3 years, and then net them out dead at 2'. That said, I've always thought that I can't put "city water" out of my tap into it or the chlorine and other chemicals will immediately kill them. A neighbor said that if I can set up a holding container and let the city water get exposed to the sunlight, the chemicals will evaporate off and I can then add it to my pond. I don't have a lot of options....no access to a well and triple temps in the foreseeable future. I've stopped feeding and I'm running the aerator full time. thx for any advice......
