    additional air

    The bits arrived yesterday so i can add 2 ceramic air discs into the pond to help provide additional air for my two ailing fish, due to gill issues they are struggling a bit, i put the discs in last night and the fish hated them and all kept at the opposite end at the window, i took them out last night as did not want them stressing all night, assume they will get used to them ? going to put back in this morning....

    Mine don't seem to change behaviour when I add / remove air.

    If you want to maximise air another option is to run a pump with a pipe sticking above the water level. My pond o2 levels shot up when I did that.

    Here's a pic of something similar I did while doing a PP treatment.... 2 extra pumps in the pond plus pipes added to the pond returns to make "periscopes".





    Steve,
    if you've got a minute can you reply to my question on your polycarb thread?

    Got a few days off next week and wouldn't mind getting the winter covers made up ready.

    Cheers.
