I'd also love a bit of advice on aeration. I just bought this property - my pond is about 1/4-1/2 acre and is 3-4 feet deep. It is fed by runoff, but do have a way to add water if I need to do so. And, it is stocked with bass among other things. What I am thinking of is an aerator (boilermaker sort?). Any advice on HP or gallons per minute I should look for? Also, Would I need to run it year round day and night? I am in north ms. Kinda worried about the cost of the unit as well as the energy cost to run it. Anyone have advice/luck with building one? Thanks y'all.
