Just to add an update to this thread...

This year I was a bit lazy and never got around to turning on my deep water aeration. Guess what happened this year? Clear water.

I know in the past I turned off my aeration for some time and it never cleared up. I must not have waited long enough because now, the water is what I'd consider crystal clear (3 feet for sure).

My deep aerator has to be 2 feet off the bottom. I guess I'll investigate the placement of that guy further, but for now, I just plan to leave the shallow aerator going.
