Thanks Bruce,

I just went out with a light and took a look at the water and it is just an ugly mess. I turned the aerator back on because I'm guessing there would only be less oxygen in the water if I left it off.

I pulled out all the dead fish I could reach and put them out in the open where I hope the neighborhood buzzards will see them and come in for breakfast and clean up most of it so that I will not have to bury it. At this point I would even welcome blue herons.

I didn't see any fish in distress unless they are all toast and just haven't floated yet.

Any suggestions for adding bacteria or chemicals to clean it up? Maybe get another aeration pump?

Thanks,

Richard
