I'm certainly not an expert on Florida. Do you worry about your filters operation. With that much fluctuation I would worry about amonia. The fish can respond more quickly to the water change. In So Cal I plan to take it easy on food for another several weeks. Temp in the pond is about 63 but the forecast says cooler by this weekend. I want that "floor" to be above 65 before I hit the fish hard with food.
Each year is different and I try to respond to the actual conditions instead of the month of the year. Watch for hole disease, with the muck in the pond and the temp swings (and flashing) you could be on the edge...
I hope not.
