JB, have you used any pond additives, like algaefix, or sludge eater, etc.?
I know a couple out there will cause this. BZT does not.

Otherwise, it could just be heat stress, but I would have thought that
would have happened with triple digits. Are you getting wind with the now
90 degree temps? Wind pushing the pads off the surface and the
heat/sun/wind drying them out, perhaps? ~ jan

~jan, I've added nothing to the pond. Fish seem healthy, I've not had
any losses since initiating water changes in the spring.
