hi
all.
just for a matter of interest from today until this monday if posible take your temp of the water + water clarity.

as today is going to be 78f rising to 84f by sunday if u can take low/high and water bad/fair/good/clear u get the idea.

my temp in my pond this morning when i left 4 work @05.15 was 17c and the water was fair (only just turned on my UVC a day ago).

o by the the way i take no responcerbilty for anyone taken an early bath whilst engaging in this survey nor injury or drowning.

Pond temperature 22C and water somewhat murky - can see about 50cm down but not plant pots on the bottom. It's a warm, sunny day here in the south-west.
