I wonder if you all have any suggestions for an economical bottom diffuser aeration system for a pond that is approximately:

- 1/4 acre (100' in diameter, 325,000 gallons, and 1.0 acre foot); and
-6-7 feet deep at current maximum depth (about 75% of the pond is 6 feet deep).

The system I like is about $1300. Maybe that's reasonable but it seems awfully expensive to me.
