yes your correct private pond. I have two windmills going, one airstone 3 feet off bottom the other 4 feet from top. No dyes or any experience with additives. stocked rainbows and browns pond depth averages 12feet this year but normally would be 15. Hoping they overwinter, we shall see. No algae all summer but now there is a nasty green film starting. wind seems to keep it on the shoreline where sucked it up with 2" pump. thanks for your reply chain
