I'll get a water and soil sample done here soon. I have to send off a soil sample anyway for farm purposes anyway.
Thanks for the valuable replies Bill Cody and Ewest. I got the surface area of the pond using that acme planner site that was posted on here. I originally thought it was only an acre but that site said it was actually 1.62 acres.
What I'm reading here is that I shot myself in the foot by adding more mouths to feed in an already starving population? My intentions on adding fish was just to add more bait but the allure of hsb and cc took over my good senses.
Patience is not one of my best virtues but do understand that rushing in the pond world could mean catastrophe. I've owned several successful saltwater aquariums. I'll keep you guys updated on parameters and catches. Just to note, I added the bgs, fhm, and cc in January..hsb mid February
