Thanks Cecil, I was hoping to here that bottom mixing was a better choice for me as I have heard about the price of some of the surface aeration operating costs. I will be primairly stocking LMB, BG, CC, and probably mixing a few SMB when culling some LMB.
My pond average depth 10 ft, 2.5 surface acres, triangular shape, tile fed by aprox 160 acres, runoff from 40 acres through 60ft of CRP and 60 ft of grass & tree buffer. It is 45 yrs old and was 22 ft deep on its birth. deepest spot today is 16-17 ft. Power will be available soon, as I will be putting it by the ponds edge, or the fishing shed where the pump will be located.
What size pump will I need?
How many diffusers should I run?
Thanks,
FH
