Greg I was thinking the same thing. I have one question about artificial or wood structure and that is, does proper aeration through a diffuser(s) generate enough dissolved oxygen to make up for the lack of aquatic vegetation? It seems to be a balancing act but since I don't have any real world experience in managing a body of water over an extended period I don't know. In this gentlemans' case since he would only be able to use a windmill he might not have much DO without
some aquatic vegetation. What do you guys think?
