Hey guys, I'm putting in some more structure this weekend and wanted to get y'alls feedback/advice on my plan.

Pond is 11' in the middle. Averages 5'

Structure to serve the following population:
50 CC
100 HBG
25 RES
25 HSB
3 lbs. FHM

I've already put in the 2 buckets for the CC and 1 pallet for the FHM. (Marked in red.)

The rest in yellow is what I plan to put in and where.

Do I need more? Less? How about the placement?

(Please excuse my elementary school drawing...)

I'm in beginning stage and can't help much with advice,. Your pallet that the minnows hang at is that wood? Sunk? or floating?
I found some plastic ones and was thinking about using and not worry about rot and replacement hassle. But don't know if I should float or sink them.
I used some re-homed concrete culvert pipe for the CC.
Looks like ya have a good plan.

FIN, the pallet already in there is wood and sunk. I just had it laying around, so I tossed it into about 2-3 feet of water and put a concrete block on top of it to hold it in place.

This may be a dumb question, but are there any issues with minnows being able to stick eggs to plastic?
