Rethink the shape. A kidney shaped pond will result in more shoreline and require two diffusers whereas a roundish-square type pond will only require one diffuser even at one acre. Minimize shallow water because all your many problems will be in shallow water not deeper water. Always the biggest problem with new ponds is the leak. Read up on preventing leaks. Do not allow compaction of the lifts with just a bull dozer.
