John, check out ebay.. I mean it. You can buy a compressor there cheap to areate your pond. My pond is half acre and I bought a gast aircompressor there for $90.00 shipping and handleing included. You don't have to spend alot of $ on weighted airline either, go to a local hardware store and buy 1/2 inch waterline and run it from the compressor to the pond. If you want to give me a call I would be more than happy to lead you in the right dirrection.1-607- 324-0389. The diffusers can be bought at aquaticeco.com for $20.52 a piece 9'' diffusers. I am useing a soaker hose for diffusers to areate right now but am purchaseing some of the diffusers I was just talking about this week. Scroll down to Areation systems questions Is this enough to areate? This is my system, I know it is enough to do the job but, I posted all these pics yesterday because, I just learned how to post pictures and I've got the week off

Anyways, don't waste your time with the big compressor because you'll pay the difference of the one for your pond with your first electric bill
