psa said: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...


No filtration or aeration I guess, just a machine dug pond in our field.
