u could reduce it with your smaller air pump as u dont really need that much as u do when they are more active in the summer n the demand for oxygen is greater  i presume you are talking about in the pond here  if the filter then that depends on the media fluid k1 needs it turning over all the time , cant remember if your pond is heated or not saph have u covered the pond to keep the wind chill off as this will stop the water temp dropping too much

| hi johno right im not heated im covered managed to quilt the kk too have you seen them pics the air is in the flocor (ki convertion hopefully next year) tam i want to reduce the air not totally turn it off had that experience and they didnt look well so not doing that again i will have the koi air running the 3 air discs that are on the pump (so a column of air) and the air stone in the filter. i will have to turn off the two air stones that are on the top ledge tho
