Limb Bream,

I too have a pond that was recently constructed. I'm going to be installing a Keeton solar aeration system in the next month or so. My pond isn't close to an electrical source and I also like the long term savings of going solar.

Your situation really depends on the timing of your house construction. If you plan on building in the next few years, then wait and go with an electrical aeration system. If it's going to be a decade or more, then go solar.

With your pond size, I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry. You can manually remove algae from it pretty quickly with a net.

Whatever you do, don't go the cheap route. Pick a solid, well constructed system and you'll get great production.
