I just wanted to post a quick update. I had a higher capacity circuit trenched out to behind the levee of the pond for future project options (rock feature/waterfall/etc), but mostly to fulfill the immediate need to power the Vertex unit I installed. The pond has been full without any noticeable level reduction over the last 7 days (checking it daily against a marker location at spillway). I stocked FHM/RR, BG/CNBG, and a few RES this afternoon. The winter rye I spread around the banks is starting to come in, but I'll probably end up sodding that area to provide a little more stability over the clay for walking around the banks.
It ain't much, but I'm happy to have fish now.
Cheers!
Clayton
