I have a 2 acre 17 foot max depth pond. The pond is 25 years old and has never been aerated. there is plenty of smelly dark organic material on the bottom. I have access to a 1/3 hp rotary vane pump and diffusers. If I decide to aerate the pond I would like to have some startup instructions so I don't end up killing fish by releasing toxic gasses from the bottom. In 25 years we have had one fish kill. I would like to avoid another fish kill if at all possible.


Does anyone have a link to startup instructions? Better yet does anyone have startup instructions for a pond similar to what I described?

brett there was another article just like this started up about a guy aerating one of his old ponds. you should go read it and get someinfo out of it. the title was I JUST KILLED MY FISH or something in that nature.
