With your temps and I assume loadsa sun, I'd suggest you build some kind of
shade over the pond more than umbrellas. Yes, a UV will help tremendously.
DON'T try and cool the water. Fish are very sensitive to temp change. I
always reckon on 1 deg/hour. regular partial water changes might help, but
if your water supply has chlorine/chloromine in, use a proprietory additive
to neutralise it, and let the water your adding come up to pond temp.What
filtration do you have? Or did I miss it in your post? lol......late and I'm
tired.
