Welcome to PBF.

10 acres! That's nice!

You say you are starting from a clean slate. I assume this means it has never been stocked. If it has been full for a while, just make sure it really is a clean slate before stocking. There are a couple of recent posters here on PBF that THOUGHT they had a clean pond and some how some fish got into their pond that messed up their stocking plans. So if there is water that runs into the pond from higher ground that could have fish or two legged critters that could have put some in to "help", it can really mess things up.

I thought my old pond had no fish to worry about after I cleaned it out and turns out it had GSF and BH's.

Congratulations on your new purchase. You will enjoy the new pond.
