Cecil-very intresting comments and i do appreciate them. ok, so should i run my bottom diffuser from time to ttime to help with the fish waste, leaves, ect. I again am coming arround to your thinking but thought that with the 2 hp Kasco that that would help with the waste issue due to the tremendous amount of oxygen for a small pond. Also of note this past weekend my father in law loves to fish but won't cast and reel as i require anyone that fishes in my lake must do. Obviously we had 1/2 dozen swallow the hook and cut them off and left them in the fish. I just walked out to the pond and found my third dead one this p.m. I guess it is cheaper to let him do that rather than one of them there divorces. Wondering what everyone elses success with this method would be? Looking forward to some comments.

Take Care- Jeff Markel
