idaho pond, just wanted to say welcome to pondboss, and state "what a beautiful place you have!!" great pics, really nice bow there.
FWIW, i have really become a fan of bottom diffused aeration for my situation. running it at nights only during the summer costs me ~$15-20/month, the system i have cost ~$2k.
no matter what system you choose, you'l need to be a might careful of aerating during the day in the summer if you get high daytime temps.....those beautiful trout wouldnt want the water to get above 65 degrees, and would probably start dying on you if water got to over 70 degrees.
