I was able to get back to my pond on 3/09/20. I found it ice covered with the exception of an approx. 50' circle of open water above the diffuser. I did see some live and a few dead FHM along with a dead floating trout. I was able to take some water quality tests with my newly purchased water testing kit.

Here are the results: pH between 6.0 and 6.5, NH3 close to 0.0, Nitrite close to 0.0, Phosphate between 0.0 and 0.25,

The water still has a green coloration with a water clarity of 18" by secchi disk.
