Welcome to PB DiamondD...Congratulations on the land/home/pond project, lots of exciting times ahead! Glad you took the plunge and joined the forum, many very knowledgeable folks here always ready to help.

I will refrain from offering up my opinion on the direction your future pond takes....but you probably already know what I would recommend! grin

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
