Thanks Bill! Yes, Ice skating is getting very popular around here, my other 2 kids found some very old skates (pretty sure they were my dad's or grandparents skates). So I've turned off the aerator yesterday. What used to be my open water appears to have frozen about 1 inch or 2 of clear ice, and I'm sure it will build quickly. I'll probably spray some water on it once or twice a day to help it thicken up quicker. Hopefully it stays cold enough to have safe ice on the whole pond by the weekend.
I figure January will be ice skating season and I'll plan on opening a hole in the ice and start Aeration again in Early February. I'll post an update then.
Is there anything I should do to monitor the fish health in the meantime. I can always drill a hole with my Ice Auger and get a visual with my underwater camera. I'm not really sure what to look for other than to see if they are still alive down there.
Thanks again!
