Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions 3/4 Acre pond - 20 ft deep - system recomendations

Posted earlier in the spring about stocking a smaller pond that was on my property. Long story short it leaked badly and I moved into another direction, mainly from learning from this site and having other uses for the old location.

With all the new knowledge, I have since built a new one (correctly) that is doing nicely. It is holding water (1/4 full), has solid run off and a deep well to supplement. Unhappy with the depth of the old pond and needing a lot of dirt for another project this 3/4 acre is 20 feet deep, with steep banks.

I want to aerate the pond and do it right. I don't want to over pay, but want the right system to turn over the pond at those depths. Firm believer in overkill and getting the right equipment for the job and then some. I'd like to support the vendors here and am open to suggestions.

Thanks for the help!

This is a good kit I am familiar with.
