Where is your place? I am 2 miles north of Brownsboro and my water is about 62 degrees(at 1 foot)right now. We have about 10 more degrees to play with before the Tilapia die-off. I supplemented my pond this year with well water(595' deep) to the tune of about 2-3 foot throughout the drought. I probably added about 750,000 gallons all summer. I'm not convinced it would keep my Tilapia alive..... I lost them last year on December 10th.
Good Luck.
