Hello everybody. Three week reader, first time writer. I would like to start by saying thank you to everyone who makes this website and forum what it is. I enjoy coming home and reading the new posts everyday. I have a little bit of land near Jacksboro, Tx. with a nice little pond. My question is how does someone with absolutely no knowledge about aquatic ecosystems and pond management start a foundation of knowledge that I can then build upon. As much as I enjoy reading the posts and the magazine, about 50-60% of what is written is a foreign language. Are there any good books for beginners? Once again, thank ya'll for the great reading and as I learn to post pics I will share my little slice of heaven. Thanks
