I have a question. I have a water fall for my pond does that reoxgenate

the
water?? Should I have more air directely into the pond? Its

approximately
a 4' X 8' oval shaped pond about 3 feet deep in center. Just removed the
muck and now waiting for the water to become less green. Using a UV light
with a bioforce 500 filter.

Some general rules of thumb to keep in mind about aerating your water...

1. You can't have too much.
2. A bubbler, a waterfall, etc. does not add air to the water. The churning
of the water breaks the surface tension allowing air to infuse into the
water.
3. If your fish are not at the surface gasping like a 2 pack a day smoker.
You probably have plenty of aeration.
