I have a 1/4 acre pond used for fishing and also this pond supplies my house with water. Last summer I installed a Vertex 2 Diffuser aeration system in it. I run this pump 24/7. Now before I installed this aerator, My water was nice and clear. You could see my fish follow you around the pond. After I added this aerator, the water became cloudy. I was hoping it would clear up. A year later it still is cloudy and Mirky. About a month ago i added half a gallon of aqua shade in the pond. A day later the pond color looked great nice and blue still had no transparency but it looked nice. Now I can go out there its got a bluish Green tint with not transparency at all. I really dont have any algae or plants in the pond. I should say i dont see any algae from the surface of the water. Not quite sure how to get the cloudiness from the water. Does anybody have any suggestions. It would be much appreciated.
