Hello everyone... long time no post...
Its been very close to zero here in the northeast, and my heater is working well keeping a hole open in the ice... i also have a bubbler doing its thing down the other end of the pond... my assumption is that this keeps the water oxygenated. Needless to say, with the cold weather, I have had to pour hot water over the top of the 'dome' that is forming around the bubbler... last night it was frozen completely over (looked cool) but worried me...
So, is this a bad thing? Any ideas, hints or tips to keep it from freezing over? What if it does? How long before the fish lose their oxygen?
Thanks for your help...
