mpc, small 1/4 acre and below ponds are a blast. The best advice I could give anybody down here would to make sure they're close to a water source, either a bigger pond or water well, that allows you to flush or add water as needed. I've certainly had issues with this one(most problems were my own doings), but no problem was really unfixable if a 2-3" water pump was handy.
I've been very lucky, and seen some great small ponds that really produce. TJ and Highflyer's ponds come to mind. The ones I'll try to see at some point, belong to sprkplug. He has some crazy good hybrid BG stuff going on, and he really knows his fish.
