So I came home from work Friday and this is what our pond looked like. Shouldn't this happen in the spring/summer? It's been cold here in Michigan (40 low/65 high). This is the first time we've had the pond look like this, is there anything I should watch for?
Are you concerned about the vegetation, or the color/visibility of the water?

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.
The color visibility of the water is my main concern. Normally the water is pretty clear, now I can only see a few inches. The vegetation has been there all summer, I had meant to rake it out but just no time this summer. There is a road drain that goes down to my pond and my wife mentioned that she saw a county truck out there Friday. My thought was they had came through and pumped out anything in the bottom of the drain and then flushed some water through. If it was just stirred up it would have settled by now. It's now Monday and it's still the green color.
My ponds look the same way now, I always figured it had to do with the temp. change of the water. It happens every year to mine, and I've never noticed any ill effects from it.
oops! didn't notice ewest's reply... sorry!
