Deb,

Much thanks...and I share your opinion on attempting to have one pond being everything to everyone...it just does not work for me. I'm just not that good at pond stuff..that's one reason I build multiple smaller ponds rather than one large one. One kid's(GG) pond, one F1 LMB pond, one native LMB pond, and one HSB centered diverse 4 acre pond...next up a crappie pond. Thanks.
