After reading the numerous favorable opinions on aerating ponds, I'd like advice on an economical aeration solution as I am spending most of my funds while constructing and stocking a 1.6 acre pond in N.W. Tennessee.

Considerations:

The closest electrical connection will be around 150' from the middle of the pond.

The pond will be 14' in the deepest part near the dam. I believe the average depth will be around 8'.

I haven't decided on the type of fish to stock, but am considering primarily CNB & LMB. I would also like to add black crappie if my pond would support them.

I could possibly add the aeration system later (after saving funds for the project)

Thanks for any advice,
