Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Bob Lusk's Aeration Presentation

If anyone needs a little extra fertilization, i'll be glad to send along one of the 3 families of geese that have taken up residence this year. One had 3 "little" ones, another has 4, and then there is the 7 sibling gang waddleing around fertilizing everything.

This discussion is of great interest to me. I've just installed a 3 diffuser system and am working my way up to 12 hours. Previously I had a churner running for much of the time and it seemed to stir things up too much and make alot of noise.

I need to extend it further out and have ordered another 25' of bottom hose this morning (thanks,Ted).

With the tilapia that Rex delivered last week, I hope to clear up some issues I have.

I also spoke with a geologic engineer yesterday that was doing some foundation test borings at the site for a new house. He confirmed how to address the leak.....this could get ugly expensive ! But I need to wait until later this summer when the water is down.

thanks to all, great info here.

Buzz, what did the geologist recommend?

So true - see below for example. http://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=259875&page=1

Mur pond 3 - brown









New pond 1






Old Pond 2

Critters! I had all of those diatoms in my central Florida lakes

Esshup........As expected he said solving the problem can only be effectively done by digging out the rock corner 2-3 feet, and refilling the whole area with bentonite layer then layer in 2-3 feet of clay soil with a sheepsfoot. Since we will be digging the foundation for the house, he said the test samples they took showed I had real good clay about 2 feet down. So, at least, I have a good, close source for the clay.
I've been through two episodes of drill and grout and it works for awhile then the water finds a new route through the limestone.

More rain today and it is full & great looking. Later this summer that project will begin.
