Finally, someone closer to me than Baltimore! You live in Nerk, your pond out in Marne? I grew up in Nerk, went to school in Heath, farm and pond in Granville Township.

The Pros or more dedicated amateurs can assess your alkalinity and hardness. Your Ph at 7.11 is middle of the road and should cause no problems.

Water visibility of 15" (I'm assuming this is a more or less standard Secchi depth reading) indicates slightly "thick" water, but in a pond as new as yours there a probably a noticeable amount of suspended solids due to runoff from areas around/upstream from the pond which were denuded during construction and haven't had good grass cover regrow yet. So your Secchi depth is probably lower now than it will be the same time next year. My SD is running 1'9" to 2' right now.

The fact that your cloudiness has a greenish tinge is a very good sign, it means there is a significant amount of zooplankton in the water, providing the basis for your food chain. Stocked fingerlings should be able to do OK in the pond (I don't think the suspended solids in the amount you may have will hurt them at all).

I do not believe adding lime is called for very often here in central Ohio (nor that it is usually prescribed as a cure to cloudiness) but lots of folks at the forum know more than me about this, and can advise based on your water test results. In case you wonder whether or not to fertilize (lots of posters from down South do this due to their frequently poorer soils), soil fertility here is usually sufficient enough to give you good productivity in a pond without fertilization. Watch your Secchi depth this year and you will likely see no need to fertilize.

What is your stocking plan and who do you plan on getting your fish from? What kind of pond do you want, fishing-wise?
