Aeration, as you may know can help with keeping algae under control, bad odors to a minimum, and it keeps fish healthy and happy too.

But it's important to consider a few things about the components that make up a good sub-surface aeration system. And frankly, some of the information online about diy aeration isn't necessarily great for everyone.

So in this video I'll cover five things that I think are important to consider when building your own pond aerator. And if you have other questions that come up after watching it, please post those below in the comments and I'll try to address those as well.
