I will take y'all suggestion and this summer do some splitters etc...I just wish they'd told me this in the beginning and not had to deal with loops at the surface...their take is as follows....

..."Aeration turns the pond water and makes it so there is no difference in the water temperature at the different depths of the pond and the loop becomes a block of ice. When that happens the ice floats to the top taking the loop with it.....Ice is very buoyant."....

I hope any of you looking at putting geo loops in your ponds are reading this.......
