Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Pond filter for 1/4 acre pond?

Lots of good ideas here. Some would be difficult, such as the "wetland" idea....not practical for me. But some of these are easy: not fertilize lawns, add lilies, etc. Not cattails in the pond; I've heard nightmare stories of them taking over.....but my contactor has ideas of using them in a separate area w/ water runoff near the pond....he's explained it but I don't grasp the full idea.) Also, when the pond is full, my plan has always been to have a couple of "chinampas" out there- that's the Aztec word for floating gardens, and plenty of people I see on YouTube are doing this....had no idea it would have the fringe benefit of aiding in "pulling out excess nutrients."
