My leak is pretty small. Pond has been full since we had big June rains. I really have been thinking about adding aeration, but it's a huge job. Just wishing there was a easier way. I've got a fairly large number of fish (I think) in a one acre pond. I'm running a feeder. The pond is surrounded by trees. They dump millions of leaves in the water every fall. I've been told a number of times that aeration would benefit the water, and the fish. Even if I ran the tubing 300 yards from the barn to the pond, I'd still have to listen to the pump run at night. Not sure I want that. If solar would get the job done, "well enough" I'd be happy. As long as it didn't cost me a lot more to go solar.

12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
