The stream I’m referring to will be man made, which will pump water from one end of the pond back to the other end of the pond, creating a constant horizontal circulation. So it won’t create any inflow/outflow, just circulation.
Aaron Matos used/uses an artificial stream, with water pumped from his pond that eventually flows back into it, to run the water through artificial "wetlands" and (IIRC) filters to remove nutrients. And he had a whole great bunch of nutrients - he and Bruce Condello took an incredible poundage of fish out of Aaron's 1/10 acre pond after it was maybe 3 years old.
Aaron managed to have good enough water quality to have SMB in Arizona. Bob Lusk always says that "the fish live in only 10% of a pond; Aaron found a way to just have that 10%.
You can probably search and find posts on that pond here on the forum, and there was an article on it in PBMag a few years ago.
