Glad for ya!

Cecil, are you running aeration yet (still)? I'm considering powering up the shallow water diffusers.


I started running it off and on in the trout pond close to shore with one of my smaller diaphragm pumps to keep a little area open in case we get a big dump of snow on the thin ice. I'm feeding my brook trout ever four or five days in that open water.

As far as the big pond I've been running another small diaphragm compressor in close to shore too, but continuously because it's not putting out much air. I need to bring it in and replace some parts Cody sent me. It is keeping some ice open though.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
