You may have to put a control valve in line. In fairly shallow water you will be pumping plenty of air. You may need an air control valve in line. Dont just restrict the flow, divert some of the air off into the atmospere.

http://www.gastmfg.com/pdf/rotvane/23_series.pdfIf in 10 ft. of water, it will supply 4cfm of air. Not sure about a soaker hose, but most round, rubber diffusers work on as little as 1 cfm.

I've been advised to wait until next spring to start up my system since the summertime is when I'll get the most value, but I'm sure it's entirely different in sunny Florida. I think we may have at least one aeration expert in Florida. Hint, hint.

Slow start up will not do any harm. Always start slow in summer or late summer just in case there is a low oxygen problem in the bottom water. In your case start with 1-3 hrs first day then 2-5 hrs 2nd day, then 6-10 hrs 3rd day. Fourth day 24/7 is okay.
