Pond heater
Took out the garbage today and saw that 1 of the pond heaters had died. The other heater is fine - I will pick up another heater at Tractor Supply and replace the one that died.

Shut down after work today. Water temps are 30 degrees. Air temps are 30 degrees. The pond was covered with ice this morning when I left for work and when I returned from work as well.

Added Salt today
This morning was cool - mid 30's, but sunny. I added 8 - 4# boxes of salt today. I will check the salinity over the next couple of days. It seems to be getting colder sooner this year than normal. I am hoping to shut down while I am off for Thanksgiving vacation.
By the time it was late afternoon today, we had a layer of snow.

Cloudiness - Brown algae

Cloudiness - Brown algae
Excessive rain will cause a brown algae to appear which will also create a brown tint. We have had rain almost every day. Called Tim and we need to allow the pond to cycle in order to clear water. Doing a water exchange as well.

Baby Asagi
Seemed to have something wavy on her head - there also is a lump which could be koi pox. Not sure - if it is an illness or parasite the medikoi will take care of it. I know this fish had koi pox last year.

Medikoi
Noticed the showa had a scrape on her head with green growing on it. Also, the bekko baby looked to have a bit of stress or was septic. There was a red mark on his fine. Bella seemed to have a fungus as well.
Feeding them medikoi until the food is gone.

Yay!

Starting pump?
I had thought about starting up a pump or two while Dave has been in the hospital. I had even wondered if he had been here instead of the hospital if we would have started.
Temps are to go down again - perhaps it is a good thing that I didn't start anything up.

Fish Moving ?
Seems early for the fish to be moving around. Yesterday when I went out and looked at the pond, all the fish were over by the waterfalls, at the top and just under the ice.
Today, I did not see any fish near the surface, however, it was just snowing a bit ago.
I know it is early, but I really want to be able to sit outside by the pond.
