Bad Boy, how deep is your pond?

I stopped using chemicals 3 years ago basically because I didn't like spending the money they want for some of them and resorted to raking a few times a year where access allows. The fl. algea seems to be less than it was 3 yrs ago, maybe this is why. I thought maybe the fact that the fish were helping keep the weeds in check, the watermeal and duckweed are considerably less. Do some fish eat the watermeal and duckweed?
My pond is doing well with no aeration but planed to add bottom aeration at some point. At what depth is bacteria able to survive without aeration?

Thanks
