Update 3/15/15 - Beautiful day for a walk here in central MN.

The solar aerators on test pond 1 and 2 have survived the MN winter. I can't wait for complete ice off to see how the fish are doing. This year, once I get my O2 meter I will be documenting some experiments and doing "case studies" on three separate ponds. Assuming I have adequate time to do it right (darn daytime job getting in the way grin ). Test pond one shown here on top, test pond two (first pic of this thread) and test pond 3 shown here as the second picture (new gen 3 will be set up this spring).



The shading board on the panel has been replaced. Electronically controlling motor speed. Reducing pump speed from 3600rpms (full sun) to approximately 1,800 rpm's (full sun)



Will be clearing some trees and brush this spring for access to pond three.
