Go to Walmart and look in their aquarium section, purchase the biggest you
can afford and a wand type air curtain and something to weigh it down. A
package of UV resistant tubing (it is usually blue in color). ~ $20 total
depending on pump size?

Set pump on a piece of 2X4 and cover with a bucket and plug it in. )

I have decided to add a small air pump to my pond. This is I believe simply
peace of mind insurance, so I want it to be cheap insurance. I could use
some suggestions about how small/cheap I can use and still be providing
benefit. I don't even know how air pumps are rated but will doubling the
output double the 'benefit'. The air stone? Round, big, 2 inch, foot long,
small bubbles???? I have been unable to find hardly even any opinions about
what to actually use, once I have opted for the air stone method. Well
Ingrid mentioned an absolutely, positively setup but much more than I want
to spend.
