When the circulator stopped the pond was smooth as glass.
I am surprized that a 1/2 hp circulator could cause water movement on five acres of water!
That water movement will save your fish someday. This "ripple" increases the surface air/water interface tremendously. It also prevents you from having a protein scum on the surface that prevents diffusion of oxygen into the water. Amazing, isn't it?
