With the 4k budget I think you could completely turn your pond around. If you build te aeration yourself it could be done just as good as professionally, my aeration for a 3.5 acre pond with 3-3 diffuser stations all self sink hose and a 3/4 gast compressor in a nice metal box all work done by me came in at about 2k $700-800 was selfsinking hose, I posted the whole process and it looks professional.. You could get 2 directional Texas hunters fr about 2k also or 3 Texas hunters non directionals for about $1000? (I think) and still have $1000 for stocking.. YOU GOT MULTIPLE OPTIONS WITH THAT BUDGET..

I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease..
