Surface aeration for 5 acres? My only aeration advice is to start taking baby aspirin about a week before Brian tells you the cost. It'll help prevent a stroke. He and I were discussing the cost of a solar powered paddle wheel aerator I wanted if and when I put a silt pond in. We only made it to the battery cost before I vetoed the plan.

Eric's statement got me thinking. What would be the downside of shutting down your feeders, and letting your predators dine solely on forage until your water cools off this fall?
