Hey guys, we just finished filling our bream/bass pond with well water this past week. It seems to me there is a healthy bloom already happening because I can see small algae floating around. We are planning to stock the bream tomorrow so we got a water tested earlier this week.

Ph- 8.6
Alkalinity- 228
Hardness- 213

From the research I have done it seems the ph will lower over the next few weeks asorganic matter degrades and rain water neutralizes the bases. It is close to the ideal ph but it is high for sure. Will the fish be ok in this?

The alkalinity seems good to support a bloom just high. They also did not find any high levels of salt or metals. I really just want to make sure the bream won't die when we add them.
