This is unfortunately a common issue with these underwater diffused aeration systems. A fountain is a lot safer. It should have been made clear to introduce it slowly (usually recommended 1 hour the first day, then 2 hours the second day, 3 hours the third day and so on) This can happen with new or old lakes, I forget the proper terminology for it but essentially these diffused aerators can cause all the oxygen to rapidly rise to the surface if they are turned on full blast non-stop right from the start. Thats why the fish were rushing to the top and out to the shoreline

I love it you have to have the seat belt on in the drivers seat to go 35 . Having the back windshield helps with sand coming in through the back a lot. Have had a few problems of course out of warranty . some times it wont start you have to keep pumping on the brake to get it to start . IT'S only got 51.3 hrs on it. to day I went to raise the Rt rear seat up and the cushion just came off in my hand. All the plastic dowels that go through seat frame were broke off. I don't know how this happed as I'm the only one that drives it and it's keep in a garage. I think they were over tighten when assembled. It has not been raw hided . Be careful picking up the rear seat grab under and grab the frame of the seat .I bet the cushion is costly , I'v got to get creative to fix it because all the 6 or 7 dowels broke off at the plastic base the cushion is made to .. My uncle has a large kubota diesel UTV it is a pain to get on and off of not like the Bobcat UV34XL . The polaris ranger 1000 bed is 8 in shorter than the Bobcat but same width . I measured my brothers I was just curious. As you said it's built for work & not hauling tail . I do like my kubota M5040 4X4 it is a great tractor .

Sorry for your lost. You have too much organic material at the bottom and the air pump dissolve it back in to the water column. Most probably, you had also gas (metano) bubbles, inside the organic material, and they break up. Very common in old freshwater aquariums, with low maintenance. Nitrogen turns into ammonia, which is poison. For the future, you need some kind of filtration to decompose ammonia to less harmless nitrites and nitrates. A simple bog filter, only with gravel and aquatic plants, 10% ou 15% the surface of the lake would work fine, I think, should be enough to maintain the lake clean and safe for the live stock. A constant flow of fresh water would be very important also, if possible. But, first, I would clean as much organic material as possible with a submersible pump. Great fertilizer for plants and trees. My two cents.

Hi, what happened was unfortunate. Your aeration system was/is not properly sized, and additional diffusers and SCFM (airflow) are key to preventing fish kills like what you experienced. The fish died due to a rapid change in water temperature coupled with a decrease in dissolved oxygen due to dead zones that were created by installing too few diffusers. Starting a system up in the middle of summer needs to be done carefully to prevent the rapid change in temperature and DO. (4 hours first day, 8 hours second day, 12 hours the third day, and 24 hours thereafter.) Pond and lake systems less than 10 acres / 10 million gallons in size should be designed to provide a fluid turnover rate of 8-12 times per day. 1 fluid turnover rate is the time it takes to mix the equivalent of the water volume a single time. I recommend installing diffusers throughout the entire pond and concentrating them in the deepest water. Air will seek the point of least resistance, so it’s important to determine if additional compressors or valving / gating or air is required to evenly distribute the atmospheric air to each diffuser. It is a common misconception that the diffusers main purpose is to provide dissolved oxygen. 90% of oxygen added via lake and pond aeration comes via surface re-aeration where cooler bottom water comes into contact with the atmosphere. The cooler water sits at the surface momentarily before finding its way back to the bottom of the water column. As you noted the water column is now completely homogenized from top to bottom and future fish kills are unlikely unless the aeration system is shut off for a couple of days or longer. Sludge is a concern for older ponds, and applications of beneficial bacteria (aka bio augmentation) is a proven method to reduce the organic fraction of the sludge layer. There are tons of products available, and I only recommend purchasing sludge reducing bacteria products that are manufactured with strains of bacillus bacteria with a decent shelf life. I am a water and wastewater expert, and CEO of Air Diffusion Systems. I’d be happy to help you with evaluating your 3 acre lake, if you are interested. Feel free to reach out to me @ [email protected].

I wonder what the problem was exactly. I've heard that the aeration rapidly changes the temperature of the lake. First, by pumping in air. Second, by mixing the various depths of the lake. So whatever natural temperature differences the lake had at various depths is more uniform.

I'm no expert, but I think a number of things all happen at once to make this kind of fish kill happen. A dramatic shift in oxygen, ammonia, silt, and of course temperature changes. All I know is I hope I never have to go through that again.

I empathise with you. That's an awful situation. So sorry to hear. Certainly, aeration in established water bodies should be done gently at first especially in summer. I think most of your more experienced water management viewers will tell us that water stratifies (separates into layers) in walmer weather especially, meaning whole layers of water can have totally different chemical composition. Deeper layers nearer the silt at the bottom can contain much higher levels of ammonia than water layers nearer the surface. Fish simply avoid the toxic layers until, of course, an aeration system on the bottom is introduced which forces destratification of the layers and forces toxins up the water column too quickly, killing livestock. I wonder whether this may have contributed to the losses.

ive gotten 5lb pound channels on these hell of a fight on a little rod but its fun
Could you please tell me how far you had to run electric power and what size wire and breaker you used. I need to run about maybe 1000 -1500 feet of wire and I don't know that much about wire size and length of running. Also what pump did you use and the amp draw of the pump.
I don't know exactly how far it was, but it was probably at least 200 feet from the barn to the compressor. We used 10ga wire and a 30 amp 220 breaker. I'm not sure what pump is used for the system. We bought the whole system through a pond management company and they installed it for us. What are you running wire for? A similar system?
A fountain is safer. You canmake one just using your pvc coming into pond bank and make different heads and patterns. We use a centrifuge pump and we have different dyi heads/pattererns. Or just pushing water across the TOP works. NEVER stir up the bottom. As you and others have found. 😢
Heres the link to one other case exactly like yours. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hpeawdSwhK60Ybw.htmlsi=h4sOlHfi-RAH-9do
This is happening to others that use this system. I will post the link to someone else. They lied if they claimed not to see this problem before.
I've tried Muck Away and other products with similar claims. I don't think they did much good.
Hi, what happened was unfortunate. Your aeration system was/is not properly sized, and additional diffusers and SCFM (airflow) are key to preventing fish kills like what you experienced. The fish died due to a rapid change in water temperature coupled with a decrease in dissolved oxygen due to dead zones that were created by installing too few diffusers. Starting a system up in the middle of summer needs to be done carefully to prevent the rapid change in temperature and DO. (4 hours first day, 8 hours second day, 12 hours the third day, and 24 hours thereafter.) Pond and lake systems less than 10 acres / 10 million gallons in size should be designed to provide a fluid turnover rate of 8-12 times per day. 1 fluid turnover rate is the time it takes to mix the equivalent of the water volume a single time. I recommend installing diffusers throughout the entire pond and concentrating them in the deepest water. Air will seek the point of least resistance, so it’s important to determine if additional compressors or valving / gating or air is required to evenly distribute the atmospheric air to each diffuser. It is a common misconception that the diffusers main purpose is to provide dissolved oxygen. 90% of oxygen added via lake and pond aeration comes via surface re-aeration where cooler bottom water comes into contact with the atmosphere. The cooler water sits at the surface momentarily before finding its way back to the bottom of the water column. As you noted the water column is now completely homogenized from top to bottom and future fish kills are unlikely unless the aeration system is shut off for a couple of days or longer. Sludge is a concern for older ponds, and applications of beneficial bacteria (aka bio augmentation) is a proven method to reduce the organic fraction of the sludge layer. There are tons of products available, and I only recommend purchasing sludge reducing bacteria products that are manufactured with strains of bacillus bacteria with a decent shelf life. I am a water and wastewater expert, and CEO of Air Diffusion Systems. I’d be happy to help you with evaluating your 3 acre lake, if you are interested.

Handle rod got bent. Not sure if from cranking in 3 lb bass or someone stepped on it. Will post replacement part when I get it...
Being a cheaply built reel, I'm sure parts will get damaged easier than on most other reels. I haven't had that issue with mine, but I do have to tighten the nut on the spool every so often.
I wonder what the problem was exactly. I've heard that the aeration rapidly changes the temperature of the lake. First, by pumping in air. Second, by mixing the various depths of the lake. So whatever natural temperature differences the lake had at various depths is more uniform.
I'm no expert, but I think a number of things all happen at once to make this kind of fish kill happen. A dramatic shift in oxygen, ammonia, silt, and of course temperature changes. All I know is I hope I never have to go through that again.
@@redneckofftherange3008 That is so frustrating, but I'm sure your lake will bounce back quickly.
I empathise with you. That's an awful situation. So sorry to hear. Certainly, aeration in established water bodies should be done gently at first especially in summer. I think most of your more experienced water management viewers will tell us that water stratifies (separates into layers) in walmer weather especially, meaning whole layers of water can have totally different chemical composition. Deeper layers nearer the silt at the bottom can contain much higher levels of ammonia than water layers nearer the surface. Fish simply avoid the toxic layers until, of course, an aeration system on the bottom is introduced which forces destratification of the layers and forces toxins up the water column too quickly, killing livestock. I wonder whether this may have contributed to the losses.
The good news is not everything died, and we are currently restocking to have a better fishery than we ever had before. Trying to make lemonade out of lemons with this tragedy.
That is a nice sized bass ! I just bought this same combo today but haven't tried it out yet. I am going to use it soon though for largemouth bass.
It is definitely capable of it. Just won't last as long as other reels. Mine hasn't fallen apart yet, but I don't use it as often as I used to. I've caught lots of crappie with it and bluegill and a few decent bass and catfish.
Thank you for responding to me. I used my new combo two days ago but didn't catch any fish that day. It was still fun though.
I've got the same one does really good, I've hade it for a yr thing I noticed is the nut in the center that holds the spinner in place like to lose up a lote an have to tighten it quit a bit. But other then that it's a good rod
I've had to tighten mine a couple times too.
I bought this rod for 9 bucks, one for me and the other for my friend I went to go fishing and I caught 2 sun fish it is surprisingly worth it you could probably go ocean fishing and that's my next stop also I want to go bass fishing with this rod I bought all the stuff for it. ALSO!!! You can change the spinning reel from right to left.
