150g outdoor halfbeaks outdoor pond

I'm very new to the forum format so forgive my formating. This is my first year doing summer tubbing, and I'd say so far it has been very successful! All the plants except for the floating azolla and hornwort are native and were collected from a nearby marsh. I have 3 aquarium coop sponge filters and one random sponge filter. I decided to breed halfbeaks because that is what my lfs said he wanted more of and I got an original batch from him and have bred them twice since June.

I was paranoid about the temp so I installed a temperature sensor that would graph the temp throughout the day and would alert me if levels went out of bounds. I can see the temp at all times as long as I have an internet connection. I can post what I use later if anyone is interested. Screenshot featuring Cory's Livestream talking about managing heat in aquariums also shown funnily enough.

I started the pond with daphnia that has since been wiped out but there are loads of seed shrimp and other small "bugs" swimming around to feed both the parents and the fry. Every day I feed aquarium coop fry food and bug bites flakes as well as baby brine shrimp (hatched in the artemia blender).

Oooh, I'm interested. I love half beaks. I'd be interested in what app is monitoring the temp for sure. 

I am using the wireless sensor tags from wirelestag.net. I've found it a little buggy but reliable enough for what i need it for. I'm thinking about getting one or two more sensors to measure ambient temp to see how it correlates. The app is through them as well. I'd like to post video of the pond and specifically the fry but I'm not sure how, like I said I'm not used to forums.
