I'd stay with the 100/acre. Also, I'd really advise against going with the Crappie. You can add them later once you get the pondmeistering thing down pat, but I'd hate to see you have to kill it all and start over ig the Crappie were to get out of hand.

Going more than the 100 CC/acre might lead to turbid water.

Cody Note the MO article about crappies says:
"" Turbid water is not good for raising black crappie. A conservative landowner will wait a couple years for the bass/bluegill community to become partly developed, then stock adult crappie as noted."" As alternative way to have crappie in smaller ponds see Bill Cody's article titled "Crappie As A Bonus, Plus Growth Rates and Sexing" in the Mar-Apr 2013 Pond Boss Magazine.
