If you give me a little more information, I'll try to help. My brother's ranch is in southeastern Wyoming, at about 6,500 feet. He has several irrigation reservoirs that look like classic bass ponds with the aquatic plant growth around the edges. Those ponds must have tremendous crops of insects, as his trout growth rates are phenomenal. I don't have much experience with aeration systems (although others on this site do). Do you want to prevent winterkill, or do you have some other reason for wanting to aerate the pond? Again, your elevation could come into play, as I don't know what your summer water temperatures might be.
