Cecil- A bit of a debate here! It depends on what you are raising? Bluegil, Bass, ect. If you are raising trout in Nebr and Iowa a bottom diffuser is a wreck unless you are running aerated well water in the pond as you do. If not the bottom diffuser will do more harm than good. My problems stopped when i quit the bottom system and went to the splasher and added un aerated well water. If not talking about a trout pond i totally agree that a bottom system is great. Cecil, i respect your opinion but wated to quantify your reaponse as far as species and available water. If i was raising only Bass, cats and Blue's i would only run mine for water quality and breakdown of waste as in my country there is plenty of DO to keep them alive at 3k feet and only 6 weeks of heat all day. What do you think of this comment? Really like picking your brain and enjoy your comments.
