You are correct, the possibilities are endless. I have to run out now, but later on this evening I'll send you a PM about aeration. You'll have to figure out how deep the deepest portion of the pond will be, and how far away is the power. It's less expensive to push air thru a buried airline than it is to run electric underground. You can push air a LONG ways - a lot further than you think I'll bet.

In a typical winter, how long do the ponds stay frozen, and how much snow do you get?
