Great info thanks! So once I hit the 24hrs on the 8th day should I stay at 24hrs or drop it back to 12hrs of aeration 8pm-8am like your doing and stay on that consistent schedule through the summer?

Also as the water and weather begins to cool in the fall, should I run the same aeration time schedule or increase/decrease?

I had no idea about the cold fronts triggering algae bloom die off/DO crash, thanks I will definitely watch for that and plan accordingly.

There's much more to aerating a pond than I initially realized... glad I found this forum. smile
