I measured both ponds. The smaller old one is right at 9'. The new one has 4.5 - 5' of water in it with only 3.5' to go. There will be one hole at 9'.

The water at 9' in the small pond was 56F. The new pond sees a lot more sun - it is 72 to 73 at all depths.


2/3 acre pond 12 miles from that big pond we call Lake Erie.
