Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Some Aeration Better Than No Aeration?

Hart, I'm right along with you and RC51 in that my pond is surrounded by trees with my pond being 40-50 years old with a LOT of muck at the bottom (when I started 2 1/2 years ago).

My pond is kidney bean shaped, 2 acres and shallow (4-5' average except for 9' depth along the dam).

June of 2012 I installed 4 double Vertex diffusers (3 shallow, 1 deep), 3/4 hp compressor and 700' of weighted tubing. All for under $3k.

I installed it myself, building the cabinet to house the compressor and manifold.

As RC51 said, give the experts here a really good idea of what you have to work with such as dimensions, depths, shape of pond, photos, etc., then read up and read up some more!

It's AMAZING what you can learn here!
