I am a newbie to the site and have a few questions.I have a small pond about .38 of an acre.I am in middle Georgia.The pond is fed strictly by runoff.There are bass,bream,(bluegill),and bullhead catfish in the pond.I do not care about the bass.I use the bream and bullheads for flathead bait.I have one feeder feeding 4 times a day.Not sure of the amount but it spins for 5 seconds each time.I know I need some form of aeration.I have looked at the Vetrix (sp)and they look like great systems but they are pricey.I have seen other systems that are cheaper but I am worried about them.Can someone suggest/recommend a system that has worked WELL for them.Thanks

I am not an expert. The experts will want to know depth of the pond and distance from power to pond. Ted lee or Sue Cruz is really who you want to here from. They also might have some rebuilt or used systems at a discount price. If you rig up your own system read all the info you can on this forum on aeration. You can kill fish starting it up. Good luck.
