Hey Everyone!

My name is Jon and I in the process of moving to Medina County, OH. The property I bought is on 4 acres, and it has a 1/2 acre run-off pond. My grandpa had a pond growing up, but I really don't know the first thing about them. Needless to say, I am super excited and a bit nervous about keeping the pond healthy and pretty.

All I know about the pond is that it is about 15 foot deep at its deepest, was dug maybe 40 years ago or so, and has no source of water other than run-off. However the pond is SUPER clean, with no algae growth I can see. I don't believe it has any kind of aeration system, so I don't know how it is so clean. However, it does have a pump that is used to supply water to the outdoor spigots on the house, so maybe that has something to do with it. The previous owner stocks it with some fish, including bass.

Here is a link to a photo of the pond which shows how clear it is.

Thank you and I am really looking forward to learning a lot from you guys!
