Also you say to minimize Suspended silts, and that wont be a problem as the entire watershed is on my property and is all a fenced off horse pasture grass. Bottom is clay so while the water is clear and constant, the bottom will make the water appear to be murkier then it really is.

I am waiting to see if the pond will hold 100% capacity without me pumping well water into the pond to supliment it, that would be 2-3 years from now before I make the substantial investment for a well near the pond, ( already had NRCS and well digger dude look and ok the site)

With the chance of larger BC and RES in the pond, I know the BC will devour the FHM and even some of the GS but will the RES turn there attention to the FHM's? assuming they are there in good number and big enough to start eating them ( 8+" )

More thoughts ???
