Oh Lord ... now I've really lost it. I was reading something
just yesterday about keeping biobugs alive all through the
winter. Was it on this list? Very interesting article where
ever it was! Jest of it is - you get a sampling of your
biobugs, measure the ammonia - etc etc ... keep the whole
mess covered in a garbage can at 60 - 65 degrees. In the spring
you save 5 to 6 weeks, maybe longer in getting your pond
up and running. More involved that this ... but very interesting.
You don't need light for the biobugs to live.... only the sample, ammonia
and water.
