SetterGuy I'm with you on that, the cost drove me to build one and test it. I have about $350 in the one I built excluding the batteries which I had. it's not as complicated as you may think. Aeration is the single best thing you can do for a pond in my experience.

Thanks woodster,
If this summer keeps going like it is now, I might regret not having aeration going now. Supposed to be mid 90s for the next two weeks. I don't know how warm my water may get, and I still have to get through August! It was pretty cold swimming in the pond last weekend, I'll bet I'm not saying that in another three weeks.


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.
