We'll have to see about the weeds. I have another similar shaped pond with no weed problems to speak of. This one may be different, but I planted domestic waterlilies in the shallow areas of the existing pond and plan the same for this one. I do not use any aeration in my old pond and plan none for this one. I do maintain a natural shoreline which may also contribute to pond health. Not sure why I don't have weed problems. I really had originally planned to add grass carp when the weeds started growing, but in never happended. P.S. It may be that the pond looks longer and thinner than it really is since the water level should be 6 to 8 feet higher when it fills, and this will all be in width.
