New Pond Oxygenation Question...

Hi All!

Our 10-year-old 245 gallon pre-form got a leak, so we replaced it with a 145 gallon (in photo above) and moved it nearer the house (arthritis strikes!)... :-)

The old pond had both the skippy filter running off a 415gph pump (skippy shown in photo) - plus, a bubbler attached to a box filter with 415gph pump. That set-up kept the water absolutely beautiful all these years!

Since this new pond is half the size, do you think that the skippy/waterfall will be enough oxygenation for the 6 fish? Or should I add back the bubbler, too? There's not as much 'floor' space in the new pond...

Hope to add a couple more plants, as well...
