Too cold for bubblers?

So, my question is, should I unplug it altogether until warmer weather or just let it keep going? The pond looks frozen solid and the pump doesn't *sound* much louder than it did......but I'm still concerned. I thought of adding a de-icer, but I have no idea if that would really help or not - we're talking about a 10' x 10' (roughly) water area that's 18" deep. Am I being overly-concerned about the fish since the one *did* survive w/out anything last year? Take a watering can full of hot tap water, and see if you can open up a hole for the bubbler. In cold years (Chicago) I've had to do it on a daily (or twice a day) basis. Failing that, I ended up with a stock tank heater, but with hot water, you can do something now. If you can keep water open, your pond will be most popular with the local wildlife, a very good thing. You might have one or two survivors next spring, don't give up hope. |
