Interesting that the top and mid DO's are going up but the bottom is still falling. Wonder what effect the circulator is having.
I don't think the circulator has much direct effect on the D.O. or the temperature. It provides and open area for light to get in and bad gases to escape. So in that sense it does contribute to the overall well being on the pond inhabitants.
Surprising the ice pack continues to thicken with all that snow on the top and moderate temps were are having. At midnight we are getting a steady medium rain. I wonder what that will do to the snow pack on the pond?
I was also suprised that the ice was thicker again this week. I did observe that the snow pack has lessened considerably from the warm weather and the rain will really bring it down.
Be carefull, that cloudy ice is not as strong as clear ice, snow and ice mixed together.
I concur on cloudy ice being structurely challenged compared to clear ice.
