I know the pond is quite a ways from the house, and I know the possible issues with running an air line all that way. Have you talked to some of the aeration experts on running a line from the pole barn to the pond? E-bay has some good deals on 1/2" or so air line (drip irrigation line will work I think) that should make the run if you were to go the electric route.
