Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Newbie with Aeration ?s

I doubt aeration in winter will overly stress the trout regardless or where you place the diffusers. Trout with winter aeration will live a lot better than trout without winter aeration. Often it is thought that winter aeration in cold climates will 'super cool' the water so it is often suggested the diffusers are placed in shallow water to minimize super cooling the water column. Trout will easily tolerate super cooling the water. In your Colorado case, I think your plan of 2 deep and one in the 4-5foot range" is okay for summer and winter aeration. HOA residents should be warned to keep dogs off the ice so they don't fall though thin ice during winter aeration.
