Aeration is not in the budget for this year. It's far from electric so I will need to build another solar system. I am looking into aeration next year to do a joint system for both this pond and for my 3,000sqft sediment/forage pond that is right next to it. My main pond has both a windmill and a solar system running a Thomas 12v compressor. I wouldn't do the windmill again.
I am not sure what type of aeration I will use for these. Might try a water pump/Venturi system on one.
With it being so shallow I don't know how effective a compressor/diffuser will be. The pump would hopefully give circulation and some air.
I will get pictures in a few days when I am back in town. Once it fills up a little I will put around 2 dozen fatheads in and some type of spawning structure.
