THanks ,so many questions so few answers ,maybe we will find a few!

[keith_r]

that's a great picture of the bridge....
how is your pond set up now? does it have a filter?
have you done any water tests to see if you have nutrients (in the form of nitrates)?

i'm sure you can do it, but not sure where you're starting

Keith ,I apologize ,I just found your reply ,Yes indeed I have filter over kill ,that's the reason I have so many fish . That's is also why I decided to separate the pond from the aquaponics to insure ,maintaining ,the pond in it's condition and still able to experiment with plants and methods ,w/o out in dangering the ponds balance and let the cycling of the grow bed be a worry only to the plants ,and any mistakes I could and probably would made ,have impact only on the plants .So far seems to be working well on both fronts! Learned a lot ,next spring I should really be ready ,I just started my fall stuff , looking good so far .My other post has some June pix ,messy but I had to start some where . Carl
