Don -- welcome to Pond Boss.
Rainman stated it well.
I gotta believe there are more of our active participants who use ponds like you do. We'd love to hear a little more about your pond uses.
Diversity is good. Us northerners would never know a tank from a pond, nor a perch from a perch, if it weren't for our Texas friends. Heck, it was right there in Edmond, OK that I learned what you use cutting horses for -- and it has nothing to do with mowing hay.
