What kind of filtration and aeration are you using? Is the color from suspended clay particulates, or from algaes and the like? The former normally is cleared away from a healthy environment by bacteria which clings to the particles and drops them out of the water column over time, provided there is sufficient circulation and oxygen. Algae (which can be brown or green) is a different story, and we've been discussing it on the Green pond thread: http://garden.org/thread/go/49...

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
