Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - More Air?

Members,
As you all know, we're a little short on water here in North Texas. And, I'm getting down to a critical water level with my small pond. 1/4 acre when full, approaching swimming pool status now. I have an aerator, but I've typically run it from ~midnight to 6am. I'm asking whether I should run it more??? When the water is higher, I don't want to add temp, but now, I'm concerned about oxygen level. I'm still pitching feed at sundown and the fish are active...I'm guessing that I've went from 20' to 8'right now. I could also back off on the feed, but they are active, so I'm hesitant to slow them down. I'd rather have them full of feed and O2 and shoulder to shoulder than ......

Any comments welcome......tough times on the water front down here.
thanks guys.

Danbob, I'd think hard about harvesting a bunch of fish, and throw them in the freezer. That will help reduce the BOD in the pond. My pond went from 1 ac to a hair under 1/2 ac and I pulled out 60# of fish before winter hit last year.
