Hi Sue,
Glad to see you could get on bito. How's Dicks buying trip going? I don't see how you could stay home??
Well the pond has been filled to w/in 8" of the summer operating depth. The meter Mike loaned me read 267600 at the beginning and finished at 281000, with 8" to go, that's 13,400 gal. I about fell over. More water than I thought.
As you know the weather is changing here in Minnesota. The water going into the pond was 64 which was petty close to the temp of the small q tank in my basement so I moved 5 of the B squad out just to see what would happen. They've been out for a wk now and seem to be doing just fine in spite of the water temp dropping to 50.
Here's what it looks like with water in it,
