No aeration at all. My pond is too far from our barn to run lines, either electric or air. Plus I’d have to run lines up and down through a big rocky ravine and 90% woods. Just not a viable option. I’ve looked at solar, but the $1,000 systems aren’t really going to move the amount of air I need or lack durability. Or, the $7,000 systems are just priced too high. So, I’m hoping for the best. Cutting back on feed. Hoping that will slow down the growth of total biomass.


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
