@liquidsquid - Yes...When the pond was full I was thinking...this things needs to be bigger...much bigger...haha but right now my budget is done for pond stuff for a while... although my neighbor has a huge bull dozer I may see if I can trade out some work for him to use it for a week or two..

@FireIsHot - What do I need to test the turbidity of the water? I was thinking of heading to Walmart for a ph test kit..is that all you need?
You're right about construction run off, until I get some grass and finish the area I think the pond will be muddy. I was thinking of trying to get some winter rye started..is it too late to plant? Right now is just muddy clay and no vegetation at all.
Any suggestions?
