Pond Aeration
Fountains are a great decorative option, they will aerate the first few feet of the water it's in.
A deep pond aerator is placed at the bottom of a pond, this type of aerator (if properly sized) will aerate the entire pond by turning it over 2-3 times per day.
Aeration reduces pond muck, fish kill, fish stress, aquatic weeds & moss, algae bloom, and pond smell.
Other great benefits of pond aeration:
- Promotion of fish health & growth
- Elimination of the Thermocline layer separating warm and cold water in the pond
- Low-cost operation of about 50¢ or $1 per day compared herbicides & algaecides that cost thousands of dollars per year

White Amur (Triploid Grasscarp)
White Amur (also known as Grass Carp) will eat 5 pounds of aquatic plants every day. Along with the aquatic weeds & plants they will also eat cattails! White Amur are incredibly hardy fish that can handle warm and cold water. These fish are a great, cost-effective solution to control aquatic weeds and keep your pond looking clean.
Recommended stocking info:
Stock 5-20 per acre - depending on the amount of aquatic weeds in your pond.
Stocking should be done when the water is 80 degrees or lower
