So many factors affect the decisions on pond size and depth that your question does not have a simple answer. The Aquaculture CRSP published a booklet on Pond Fertilization, by Christopher Knud-Hansen, which describes this complex topic. The booklet is available electronically on our website at <http://pdacrsp.orst.edu/pubs/fertguide_PDF/fert_guide_TOC.html> or can be ordered in a printed version (email us if you'd like us to mail you a copy at no charge).

No. Although they can provide excellent forage for bass, they can also overpopulate a pond. In addition, they are temperature sensitive and may not survive in the northern part of Florida. See similar questions...

Ponds can be wonderful additions to any landscape but should be carefully planned if your dreams are to become a reality and not a disappointment. We have videos in our showroom to watch that can help you plan and our salespeople can guide you through some of your options. Building a pond today is easier than ever because of high quality, yet inexpensive liners, pumps and filters. First you need to decide how large of a pond you want. See similar questions...

It is important to know the total gallons of the pond to determine proper filtration, pump size, stocking capacity and dosages for water treatments and fish treatments. To calculate the gallons of water held in a pond, follow a formula for the pond's shape and measure in average feet, using decimals. For an irregular shaped pond, take the average length and multiply it by the average width and average depth. Then multiply that figure by .8 and then by 7.48 = total pond gallons.

Somewhere between 10 and 20 people seems to be the ideal size for a Cuddle Party because it's just enough people to be able to connect with during the three and a half hours a Cuddle Party lasts. But there's no hard and fast rule on size since we've had powerful cuddle experiences happen with as little as six Cuddle Monsters present, and have easily managed to cuddle groups over twenty with no loss of the warm fuzzies.

A permit is required prior to the initiation of the pond construction or modification if the dam is high hazard (determined by the division that the failure of the dam could cause loss of life or severe property damage), or if the dam is 15 feet or greater in height (from top of dam to lowest point at downstream toe) and the impoundment capacity is 10 acre feet or greater at the top of the dam.

Having a red color to your pond is a common problem in central and western Oklahoma. It is caused by small particles of clay that remain suspended in the water. Because these particles have a magnetic-like "charge" to them, they bounce around and can stay suspended for literally hundreds of years before they settle. The color in the water is not only unpleasing to the eye but reduces sunlight penetration in the water. See similar questions...

Unless you have several hundred thousand dollars to spend, you should probably consider building a radio-controlled airship or a manned hot air balloon instead. If the financial requirements do not deter you, a book called "Building Gas Blimps - A Practical Guide to Building Small Gas Blimps" by Robert J. Recks will provide you with more detail. The book is available for approximately US$80 directly from the author (e-mail r.recks@juno.com). See similar questions...

Many of the smaller and more intimate camps are restricted to 8-10 visitors (sharing two to a tent or hut). Small group sizes greatly enhance the game viewing, walking and local visiting experience. Please note that, for minimum group sizes of 8 people, it may be possible to book a trip that is personally escorted by AfricaAway's chairman and managing director, Dr Henry Southworth.

There are no set rules on the size of a project or action. The duration, amount of work involved, the number of partners and the budget will depend on several factors. You should consider the nature of the tasks proposed and the speed of action required to meet market needs. You will also need to decide how to ensure a European dimension to the work and assess the requirements of this part of the IT programme. See similar questions...

Most individuals being rated will have 10-15 raters. The NBOGroup 360º can accommodate virtually an unlimited number of raters. Having too few raters (less than 5) is discouraged because of anonimity and the reduced value of too small a sample size . [back to top] See similar questions...

A housing can be designed for any depth. The depth that a housing will survive is dependent upon its size, material, wall thickness, and safety factor. Deeper housing cost more. There are several classes that we use to categorize housing depths: Shallow or surf housings. These are designed for submersion to minimal depths, typically 25 feet. We usually use 1/4-inch acrylic for the basic rectangular box. See similar questions...

You may be able to build a pond on your property if you first determine what permits may be required. It is possible that a Waterways Obstruction and Encroachment Permit may be needed. Contact your County Conservation District as the first stop. The Conservation District can also assist you with any erosion and sedimentation requirements that you should have in place during construction. See similar questions...

First measure the length, width and depth of the pond. This is good for square or rectangular size ponds. Plug the numbers into the following formula: Average length x average width ? 43,560 = # of acres. For example, say your pond measures 350 feet long and 200 feet wide. To calculate the acreage you put the above numbers in the formula like this: Diameter x diameter ? 43,560 x 0.8 = acres. For this example, say your pond is 235 feet across (diameter) and it is a circular pond. See similar questions...
