Eric issues a pond warning that unusually warm winter weather is causing aquatic ecosystems to wake up earlier than expected. Because ponds operate based on water temperature rather than the calendar, Triplett notes that fish are more active, metabolism is increasing, and algae is blooming ahead of schedule. He advises hobbyists to monitor water temperatures closely to determine if they should begin supplemental feeding, while also cautioning that filtration systems may require more frequent maintenance due to rising waste levels. The episode emphasizes that professional service schedules are filling up fast, urging homeowners to book spring cleanouts and inspections sooner to avoid a lack of availability. Ultimately, the message encourages proactive management to protect the health of koi and other aquatic life during these fluid climate shifts.
