esshup - Thanks for the suggestions. At this point I'm leaning toward holding off on the bass and the grass carp for now. Any thoughts on how many FHM to start with?

Regarding the windmill, we placed it where we did based on observing the weather here for the past couple years and the wind comes from the west a good 80% of the time. I figured it probably wouldn't be the total of our aeration solution but my wife loved the idea of having it and since she pretty well let's me do whatever i want when it comes to the outdoors, i wanted to make her happy. We'll see how it does.
