This was an entirely new pond, not an enlargement of an existing one? And there is no other BOW that could flow into it, during a heavy rain event?

I'm with Ewest, the math is possible, but barely. At any rate, in my opinion you need some predators. I like the idea of some HSB also, but it's hard to beat the near guaranteed effectiveness of a few 8" LMB. Stay on top of any aquatic vegetation, don't let it become excessive.

That's a LOT of CC...


"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.
