i have a new pond in hopkins county in north/east texas. it will be 6 acres when full and about 1/2 full now. was completed last june and has had some water for about 4 months. however, 75% of the water has run in within the past2 months. i had texas a&m test the new water and the total alkalinity is 86ppm and the ph is 7.10 and the hardness is 94ppm, the phosphorus is .08ppm and a lot of other numbers that i don,t what they mean. i was planning on stocking the blue gill and fathead minnows as early in spring as possible, i was thinking about march 1. then stock the bass in june. does anybody know any think else i need to do before i stock the blue gill and minnows or do you think it is ready to go. and do the dates seem ok to you all?
thanks
