[quote=cheyenne19]I'm new and have some questions. I don't even know the right questions to ask, so if you think of something I am missing please let me know. I have a non aerated 37 acre pond. We have a 4000gpm re-lift that pumps water from our tailwater recovery system, and a well that pumps 1500gpm. The pond averages about 6 feet deep. We irrigate rice and soybeans out of the pond and from June to mid August we will have pumped in enough water to have filled the pond 3 times. The water level never varies much in the summer as we pump in as fast as we drain out. Most of the water we use is from the well. When we have enough water to relift we use it. The water in our tailwater recovery system has been pumped across fields and then drain into our sytem of ditches. We have never had a fish die off. We have 1000 CC and 800 HSB. The LMB numbers are uncertain. I am going to get the LMB numbers to close to 50 per acre. My question is, should I aerate? How do I check the DO and what are good and bad numbers for the DO?
Thanks,
Cason
OK, I found it ….

George,thanks for reviving this thread. Didn't Cheyenne post some other pictures of the water being piped in etc. Can anyone find those? His pond and fish and entire set-up is very interesting. Cheyenne, could we possibly get a full detailed description (w/pictures, of course) of your place.
Thanks, Randy
Just do it...

So much for "everything's bigger in Texas." We're just happy to get 90 gpm.

That usually holds true.  We grow around 1500 acres of rice each year, and use LOTS of water. That's why we're able to run that well almost 90 days straight.

That's a lot of rice! I was up in Stuttgart late last year for a wedding...lots of rice farming up that way. Are you in that area?
We stayed at the Five Oaks Duck Lodge. Phenomenal place...I'd love to go back to duck hunt and bass fish there someday.

My family is orignally from there. We're now about 50 miles north of Stuttgart. I'm very familiar with Five Oaks, and have been know to guide some duck hunts myself. Afterall it does help pay for fish.
