It's also very important to go thru a startup procedure with a pond that's never had aeration. You need to start with 15 minute runs each day. When you no longer smell gases from the bottom, you double that time (30 minutes) until you no longer smell gases, then double again (1 hr)...so forth and so on until you can run for hours and not smell the toxins. Wasn't sure you had picked up on that in your research. Thought I'd pass it on.
