picrel - not mine but similar. Bought a property with a one acre pond in the back yard. spring and runoff fed, so very clean water. already came stocked with bass &amp; perch.

besides shrimp farming, what do i do now for maximum utility?

Geothermal coils

That would depend on your goals, wouldn't it?

If you have no goals, nonspecific stewardship means keeping making sure the water remains as free from contaminants (chemical and optical) and assuring it doesn't become stagnant.

hockey rink

maybe tie six cinder blocks around your neck and jump in the middle you worthless fucking retard

Fishin' pole, bucket hat, kayak and a cooler full of beer. Or do what >>2609000 said

>>2608919 (OP)

Also, how much?

>>2608919 (OP)

Please post your pond

trips dictates op, suck a dick and kys

you need to air ate the water as much as possible

they sell solar aireators on amazon alibaba shit really cheap 

place them all over the place and pump oxygen in the water for the fish 



this will help a ton



you can also do the giant black house pumps water and dumps it other side meanwhile heat up in black hose

what imean is they sell solar water heaters for pools that are giant black hoses that spread out 

for couple hundred 



solar water heater

also you can make tiny islalnds out of nets on and dirt and flowt plants and fruit trees on it

this is also ideal as it provides habitat and food for fish and you



for instance float a ton of bamboo

or apple trees on a manmade island 

nets with barrels and soil

why the fuck would you heat the pond? keep it cool, better for the fish. 



keep an eye out for invasive plant species. if you get algae blooms scoop them out for the compost. sounds like it's already doing great, just keep as much organic matter out of the water as possible with manual skimming to keep it nice and clean and prevent bacterial blooms. 



if your local climate's temperatures start to rise consider installing a floating set of solar panels that will provide shade, keep the temperature down and generate power. do not use chemical fertilizers on the property. use mosquito dunks to control mosquito populations if they become a problem; they won't harm fry.

Good for swimming in the summer? Put a jetty/pontoon down up in that bitch

>>2608919 (OP)

Make a little shack (teahouse, perhaps) with glass wall that extends below the surface, so that you can see what happens in the water. It won't be easy but is worthwhile.

Suggesting op plant bamboo. You devil you.

Coolest idea yet.

No i mean make littlw islands to cover the pond

Drain it and fill it in with cement.

>>2608919 (OP)

get a cheap used sailboat, fix up the inside, moor it in the pond as a guest room
