I completed an aeration installation today before it got too hot. The pond owner lost around 150 pounds of LMB that were around 3-5 pounds and quite a few big bluegill because of this oppressive heat. The pond was SW of Watonga in a canyon. When the installation was completed and the owner plugged in the blower the aeration released the hydrogen sulfide gas that was in solution. This told me that the pond was on its last legs and most of the fish were already dead. The gas was strong enough to make me nauseated and I was 30 yds away from the air boil. The two units that I installed will pump around 500,000 gallons of water ,collectively, per day and aerate it as well. In a weeks time the pond will start to show a turn around. I anticipate that in 8 days or less the contents of the pond will have passed thru the units. The owner was happy and he does not have to worry about losing any more fish. I will try to submit pictures soon.

Returning home I stopped at an installation that I made 3 Sundays ago just to see the progress. The water no longer looked like pea soup that you could cut witha knife. There was clarity that was not present before and I saw a school of 7 LMB cruising the shallows looking for lunch. The pond owner could also see the improvement in the overall health of the pond over the past couple of weeks. This pond is loaded with 8 - 9" bluegill and redear. This pond was within 3 days of having a fish kill of significant proportions. Another success story.
