Okay, now I understand - all I want to is keep a hole in the ice open. This pond breather looks interesting. I already have a floating de-icer, which I assumed would do the same thing. I think it’s worth an experiment in this fishless winter: use both, at a distance from each other, and see which works best at keeping a quiet open hole in the ice.

Thank you for the link and all the rest of your help - I’m feeling a whole lot better about my new pond now. It will be wonderful once it’s all done and self-sustaining.

What a pretty pond! Those six goldfish will be the luckiest fish in the tank when they get chosen to live in your pond! And I'll bet it won't be long before you have lots more than six. Goldfish are easy breeders - they will populate your pond in no time!

What a nice pond you have. Sorry about your fish. As said before, the best way to eliminate algae is by adding more plants to the pond.

Nothing buy my pond breathers and small aerator run in the winter, but I don't lower the water level below the skimmer. I don't want to steer you wrong , so if your instructions tell you to do that, do it :)
