I purchased a Thomas 2650 off eBay to use for my system. Read on the forum that the Thomas compressor is a good one and cheap to rebuild. I plane to buy a Vertex micro bubbler from Forever Green to go with it. Anyone have any good enclosures they have put their pumps in? I was thinking of a garden hose box. My pond is about 1 acre and averages 4 feet but is about 6 feet on one end. Should I put the Vertex in the middle of the pond in 4 feet or would it be better in the deeper end?
