Ya crazy like a fox!

I am putting in a 500 sq ft biological filter that I will be running 11000 gph through to help reduce wastes and nutrients. This will then spill into an 80' stream and then back into the pond. I was thinking about putting in a well to help regulate temps and flush out wastes but $100+ a month to pump it won’t fly with the wife. Maybe I will get lucky and find an artesian well on my property.

When I picked up the perch at the fish farm they showed me there ponds, all fed by an artesian well. They said the artesian wells collectively put out somewhere around 120gpm. At that point I drooled a little bit...

BTW their winter temps in all their ponds are in the 50s because of the steady flow of 50 degree water.
