Can someone please post details? I'm seeing a lot of posts about just aerating at night to keep pond temps down, but I'm not seeing ANY posts with hard data supporting their theory.

I'd love to see pond temp and O2 data aerating 24/7 vs. only at night.

In my experience with trout in the pond, aerating only at night when the night time temps were below 70°F did absolutely NOTHING to keep the trout alive any longer in the pond.

With that being said, I have a customer that has trout in his pond, and runs a volcano type surface agitator and a bottom diffusion aeration system with the diffusers set no deeper than 40% of max depth of his pond and he has been able to keep trout alive for 22 months so far, running them 24/7 during the spring/summer/early fall.

So if anybody has data please share it.
