Pond was built in 2009. It’s 2 1/2 acres, 28 feet maximum depth. The fish grew very rapidly the first 3 to 5 years but are now stunted despite harvesting fish every year. When our house was built in 2012, the septic system was not designed properly and started leaking water into the pond in 2013. Over the years with high nutrients, the pond has now turned clear with lots of filamentous algae growth.
I always had planned to aerate this pond, but kept putting it off. But I guess now is the time to aerate to try and reduce the nutrient level in the pond. I am getting the septic system fixed but I want to design an aeration system for the pond. I have a geothermal heat pump for my house and the coils are at approximately 24 feet deep in the pond. I plan on placing the diffuser at around 17 feet deep. I have a RockR air compressor, and I will get the details posted tomorrow of that pump. I would like to know the best diffusers and line to run.
The pump is a WobL 607ca22

I started with nothing, and still have most of it.
