Aguita: Welcome from a fellow Pennsylvanian PondBosser. You have found yourself to a website that is a treasure-trove of information for management of a pond. It will provide some great laughs and good friendships along the way. Your post, along with TJ's, Bill Cody's, and CJ's extensive write-ups, should be bookmarked for future reference. That is solid advice from great guys who seriously know what they are doing. Especially the part about TJ's 'love flaw'. Only on PondBoss can guys say they have a love flaw. LOL.

If you haven't already, please subscribe to Pondboss the magazine. It is a great read and helps support this great community. If someone has already suggested the same to you, please forgive my redundancy.
