Well I have a weird situation going on.. I've been iced over for awhile but I've been kicking on the diffusers once a week or so to open up 3 nice size holes for sun penetration.. well kicked it on last night and I have 3 prolly 6 foot holes open on the ice. The fish are hitting the open water like crazy pretty well non stop.. A it's alot more aggressive than piping I've seen before.. Any suggestions should I been concerned..

I would say they are lacking do2. Anyway you can check it. When a nearby lake winter killed last year the fish were swimming up the ice fishing holes.

What about running all 3 12 hours a day? This is the first time I've noticed them doing it this year?

I agree with Ted. I'd run 'em 24/7 for a while.

I agree. Run all three diffusers 24/7 in order to thoroughly mix the water. Once a week is likely only bringing anoxic water to the surface, no real mixing.

Everything is looking good.. Hopefully I'm not freezing my fish but like Ted lea told me fish can handle cold water alot better than not being able to breath.. thanks for the help hopefully we get a warm up this weekend and it melts off the snow atleast..
