When your hands are tied due to regulations I am not sure you can get to your goals. I would most likely be an outlaw with some of the regulations mentioned.
My pond experience, I have learned its hard enough to get there because of Mother Nature's input and when you have to also deal with government people who lack knowledge and don't want to change it's laws when it comes to things like having Tilapia in cold water environment, it would make it hard to accomplish ones dream pond I would think. You can money whip it and maybe just maybe meet your goals. In Texas we have a lot of freedom. God Bless Texas! Hay! My mother once told me I don't like authority. PA is a beautiful place to visit but with your kidding comments I am not sure I would be welcomed there. Wishing u the best with your pond goals. People here like Bill C. and Bob Lusk along with a few others here can most likely help you get there.
