Well, it turns out it wasn't expensive at all to get the PVC to siphon it all the way down. I'm using 2" PVC and it's lowering the level about 3" per day. So I'm thinking to drain it all the way down and start fresh in the fall. Once I get it going as a catfish-only (plus forage) pond I'm planning to restock it every year or two to replace the ones I harvest. A few years from now when I have 2+ pound CC in there will I be able to stock the cheaper 4-6" inch CC fingerlings or will the big ones eat them?
