Good to hear from you Mason,
I mainly have the aerator to help cool the pond,and i'm not there all the time, i live 95 miles from my pond. If i lived by the pond i guess i wouldnt need the thermostat.
The DO has been fine cause i have 40GPM piped in from a stream, and the warmest night still reached 63 degrees.
The temp at 5ft. was 64 Sunday so it's not too bad, my ponds max depth is only 8 ft.
Yes that was a tiger trout, 13 1/2", they are very aggressive, i hope to get more next year. After the winterkill i had i'll use the aerator shallow to keep part of the pond open, and i'm going to run water from my well.
Last summer was hot and dry, but the brookies reached 12" & rainbows 14" by the end of august.
How are your trout doing, and how big have they gotten, also how deep are you aerating?
