how do i maintain my half acre lake, that is a swimming pond, but has fish and turtles in it?
Answers:
have you ever watched spongebob square pant before, the sponge, star fish and even squirrel in a space suit can live under the sea in harmony, so i don't think it would be a problem for you human (the low IQ section) and turtles and fish to live togther, besides, you are only swimming together, just don't let the turtle bite you epsecially your reproductive organ, before they won't let go until they hear a thunder (my mum told me that), the fish are generally kind,and easy to catch, you can set up a BBQ along the bank of the pond, whenever you catch one, throw it up to the bank and let the BBQ robot handle it, have a nice day^^

you can put a fountain filter in it. it won't harm the animals and it will be safe to swim in. in the middle you would have a fountain that could be turned on and off whenever.

You should check with your local county agent. We have a pond and we did that, they came and tested the water and advised us on what to do to it to keep it healthy. There's a lot of work involved, but it's all worth it in the end. We have a beautiful pond with healthy fish - it's a wonderful ecosystem. We don't swim in our pond, however.
There is an age-old device that is gaining popularity with pond owners, it is the old wind-mill, you set it up to draw water from the pond and pump it back in thru a fountain or just a spill-way, this keeps the water circulating and oxygenated which will keep it fresh and clear
