I start feeding again when my water temp goes above 55 and I expect it to
stay there or higher

Yes pretty much so ................I went through a spell of cloudy
water last summer and added a 40 watt uv light in line with a aqua
4000 filter and have had clear water ever since

Sacha,

Get a pond thermometer and wait until the pond temperature gets above 50 for
several days, with no cold fronts on the weather map, and then start
feeding. In Richmond, the temperatures of the ponds are now about 52 or 53
and I expect them to stay above 50 now. I think you are probably 3 to 4
weeks away from those temperatures.

What zone are you?? I am in New York, Bronx.

I checked both the bottom and flooting thermometer and the bottom was 56 and
the flooting one was 53 today and yesterday. We are having a warm trend( today
was 67) but by the weeks end it going to get a bit colder (high 30's to high
40's).

Zone 7 at the a/b line. Your pond temperatures are similar to ours then.
We have had some 70 degree days. I think your pond temperature will drop
below 50 again by weeks end if your temperatures are projected to be like
ours. Wait until you think it will stay above 50 and preferably above 55.

Okay, there must be something seriously wrong with my computer. Seems like
this same post has run here about every other week since Jan 1st. It's
worded differently each time (wonder how the computer does that?) but
basically the same question. Anyone else noticing similar problems with
their computers? ;o) ~ jan

I see lots of questions about feeding fish. Why are you just pointing at me?

This happened to me in another newsgroup when I first started with my pond and
I had lots of questions or I asked the same question but in a different
way.Sometime's people will do that 'cause the answer wasn't given, or maybe not
enough info was given and the person still don't understand.

I am not going to get into a fight or anything; it was one of the worst
experiences in my life. Every person on that newsgroup like this one sent
hateful and discusting emails to me for over a week.

Like the old saying goes "Sometimes things are said in gest " regarding below:

I don't want no problems I have enough of them, so I think lurking is in order.

Thanks for all the helpful information,

Sacha
