I think you can choose to be as serious as you, and your budget, allow. What I have just recently decided for myself, as far as ponds go, is the need to always be mindful that it's a two way street.

All the time, effort, and money spent is pointless if all the while you're twisting your pond into your definition of appropriate, it's twisting you into something else entirely.

"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.
