Cecil, I don't understand what you mean when you say you aerate the water by running it through a 5 gallon bucket with plastic. Could you describe this more? After this process, what sort of DO do you have? Is this your primary form of aeration or is a diffuser at the bottom of your lake the primary form of aeration?

What water quality tests do you run and how often do you perform these tests? Under your conditions, do you have a recommendation of a particular test kit to buy? This subject of using well water completely hasn't been discussed that much here and any other information would be greatly appreciated.
