So i've done a good bit of searching and reading up on the forums around cleaning up ponds and getting some good O2 to the lower strata of the water. I haven't quite found what info I need, so hopefully i could get some insight.
New house, inherited pond. There is fish in the pond i have no idea how many, size etc. I just know that some of the neighbors have fished it in the past. We've got some floating algae/plants (im pretty sure duckweed and FA) i'll post a photo later on the contents for some advice there.
But my main question comes really with getting some water movement in the pond. The best method as well as the most practical. The consensus seems to be overwhelmingly diffusers just off the bottom of the pond with very little value in fountains.
I've seen some turn key systems that range anywhere from 500-2000. Such as this.

Here are some photos of the pond and the size. Note the water line is now up to the small tree on the right (just under the overflow pipe in the back left. Total circumference is about .5 acres and aprox 6-8 feet deep. THANKS!
