Mornin guys: Haven't chimed in for a while since I have really been working to get my structure in place, and the water ph and alkalinity balanced. My ph is a pretty steady 7.3, and the lime I've put in has cleared up the water to about 18". I have a very small seepage issue below the dam that I think will correct itself during the winter freezing/thawing and the general 'curing' of a 6 month old pond. Thoughts.... Addition ally, I think I am ready to begin to stocking. I want BG, Read Ear, bass, and perhaps a few catfish. Should I put in forage fish first? Then, about how many of what kind and in what order? I would rather take my time and get it right, than hurry up and screw it up. I've got some ideas, but would really like the "Pond Boss Crew" to chime in with thoughts. MANY thanks. Jim
