O.K., a question for the guys that say to only aerate at night to keep the water temps low.

At what water temp would you want to do this, and at what water temp is this not required? i.e. if pond water temps are 80°F, is it necessary to do this or is this only required when surface temps are pushing 90°F? 85°F? 75°F?

I have yet to see anyone on here post their water temps in ponds that they only aerate at night vs. 24/7. And those numbers would have to be correlated with ambient temps and amount of sunlight. 90°F ambient temp with full sun is hotter to the pond than 90°F and heavy cloud cover is it not?

To me, without numbers to put to the puzzle, then we are only guessing about the water temps and O2 levels. We shouldn't be guessing................
