Its still not that cold here yet, the nights get to about -1C. Just took a check of the temp and the water is right at 0C.How cold did it get? Any idea what temps are under the ice?
Oh ya for sure, I have the aerator going year round ( I just raise it closer to the surface for the winter) and will be getting the breather in probably in the next month or so depending on the weather.Be sure to fire an aerator, breather or heater in there for the winter. You need that hole in the ice.
hahaha nice!
@Kaniff I note that you have a flat edge all around your pond as we have .Oh ya for sure, I have the aerator going year round ( I just raise it closer to the surface for the winter) and will be getting the breather in probably in the next month or so depending on the weather.
morewater is right, the winters can get a bit chilly here and the temps stay pretty low for a couple months straight. I thought about building a greenhouse type of shelter for it before but figured that would only be beneficial in the late fall and early spring. Nothing will stop it from freezing over in mid-late winter.@Kaniff I note that you have a flat edge all around your pond as we have .
So my friend , have you ever thought of adding policarbonate roofing sheets to the top of the pond in the hope it stops your water from freezing .
We have 7c on the pond even as low as -10c and no ice .
