no ive never heard that.as far as i know all ponds will turn over when it gets hot enough an the oxgen gets low wnough.tuck":1n29vcwh said:Anybody ever heard that a triangular pond will not turnover, as opposed to a round pond?
alabama":3u0jyzyp said:The reason a pond turns over is thermal. In the summer, the top water is warmer than the deeper water that does not receive as much heat from the sun and the warm air. When winter rolls around the surface water cools with colder outside temperatures. Because heat rises, the warmer water on the bottom of the pond rises and the cooler water on top sinks.
I don’t think shape matters.
And that's how coyotes got into southern California...Bama":1j6pwcal said:The biggest problem I've had was about 30 years ago a bunch of ducks landed on several ponds. It came a quick freeze and froze the ducks to the pond. A big ole coyote saw the helpless ducks and was going for a quick meal. All of those ducks started flapping their wings at one time and low and behold they flew off with the pond. The ducks on the other ponds naturally followed them. Folks were redigging ponds around here for years.

Your loss is some one else's gain. Few years back a large flock of Canadian geese hauled a good size lake to my ranch. As luck would have it about that time we got a good thaw.
