Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

IMO anything over 9 is starting to get dangerous. That's just my 2 cents. The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
