Happy past winter to everyone. The ice has melted and for the first time this entire winter I was able to count all my 5 goldfish alive. My water temp is now 41% and I want to know when is it time to put in my water pump and set up my brand new barrel filter. Thank you RDK

I would start running the filter the first chance i got
It will give the bacteria time to get established before it does turn off warm
