I need to get a reading on the water temp but i'm pretty sure that it gets cold enough to kill off tilapia. If i recall correctly,we stock some (how many i dont know- this was my dads doing), 5 or so years ago and they were stocked mainly for weed control. I never saw them past the first season. I just remember seeing schools of white fish swimming around.

I am getting water and soil samples sent off very soon.

Something I have been having issues with is getting ball park prices on different options available. I'm not looking for finite, down to the penny quotes. Just general back of the envelope figures. Just so i know what i am dealing with in order to come up with some-type of budget to work off of.

As the Map shows, I'm 20 miles south of charleston south carolina. Any body know what the going rate is for a delivered ton of lime is these days (Would need more than that but just getting general figures). I have the means to spread it throughout the pond.
