Yes, I did a jar test. It did not settle out. Typical NC piedmont area clay pond.
It was turbid prior to stocking.

I think the ag lime helped some.
PH was 5.7 before 1500lbs of ag lime.
It's closer to 7 now.

Pond is .70 acre, 8ft deep with aeration.
It has 75 6" CC, plus last year's 25 CC which are around 12"-14" now.
It also has, what I would consider, a lot of crayfish. No positive ID on the specific type, but I don't think they are the burrowing type.

Half acre 30 year old farm pond, Mebane NC. Aeration & feeder.
LMB, CC, SC, BG, HBC, two no account welfare carp and nine seasonal Tilapia that all the other fish are terrified of.
