FlowRoll, if you don't need electric at the pond the poly pipe is the way to go. You could run 1" for that length of run and be fine. That's a good price on that pipe.

I thought the same as you, all I need is air at the pond. Now I'm trenching in 150' of electric.......

I don't have any idea if you need #6 wire, but if you run #10 and decide in the future that you need to run more things at the pond side, you will be glad you ran #6.
