I'm in Va. I have a 3 year old 1 acre farm pond that stays pretty cloudy. Lots of trees around with lots of leaves and debris from trees annually. I have 3 aerators running. I've tried turning them down and off and neither seems to help. I get some algae but that usually clears up with algicide quickly. I'd like to carefully treat the water to help clear it up and something to help with the bottom sludge. I want to be very careful because the good news is I've been able to grow some really nice bass of 5-7 lbs already and don't want to stress the fish. Help and advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance 163bc

Have you had the water tested ?

See this about clay turbidity.
