Thanks guys, this makes me fell better because it would mean moving roughly 20,000 yards of organic soil. I will be moving some of it for contouring of the edges and for manipulating the shape and depth of the bottom. I plan on having underwater ridges, flats, and ditches and if I use this soil would it make it more suceptible/beneficial to unwanted/wanted vegetation? I know that minimum water depth should be three feet to discourage vegetation but what about the kind(s) of grasses that will support freshwater shrimp? Is water depth an issue for this type of scenario? I hope to have some photos this week to post and I would appreciate any and all input.
Thanks,
