Doc, not sure about what your goals are. Aesthetics are one thing and water quality is another. If water quality is your goal, consider aeration. Fountains are purely aesthetic.
My feelings about fountains: Fountains are like racehorses and beauty contest winners. They are expensive, good for nothing but looking at, and don't do a lick of work.
That said, if your wife wants a fountain, get a second job. You're never going to win that battle.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
