I've got plenty of before, during rebuild and after construction pic's that I'll put up when I get home in a few days.

Would it be OK to go ahead and stock the pond with the Blue Gill before I get the pond to clear up? Will they handle the 6.2 PH level?

My neighbor works for DEP and does water monitoring by examining insect larvae. He told me that our local streams, rivers and lakes all have a very low PH naturally. How concerned should I be about trying to raise my ponds PH?
