Hey! and Welcome Crazy_Jay!
I'm not too far from you - I'm in Athens, GA.
I don't know anything about ponds that I didn't learn by coming here and asking questions and reading the fine magazine. But, I will say that the folks here are friendly, knowledgeable, very helpful, and often quite silly.
It's a fun bunch to hang out with - virtually speaking.
If you're ever around Athens, gimme a shout - I'll show you my pond.
