<p>When we get the grow tank farm in we are going to be circulating water direct from the pond to the grow tanks. We are then going to be returning it by 4'' ABS pipe back to the pond. The water coming back to the pond will be released over river rock spillways and that will aerate the water returning to the pond.</p>
<p>The catfish in my pond are really there only to maintain the pond as an excellent biofilter and make little catfish.</p>

<p>It sounds great. There is a saying in the permaculture circles that water that runs over three rocks is alive again. (I suppose it means oxygenated) I am having a wonderful time learning from you.</p>

<p>Yea, you just have to monitor the water quality in the pond and make sure it doesn't choke it's self out with algae or have a DO crash. Now if you want to grow some veggies with the water you just circulate it through beds of lava rock and grow your veggies in that.</p>
