My 9 month old pond is a good color, from what I have read. Its olive green, but has VERY little visibility, about 6 inches. I dont have any FA. My pond is clay lined, but I dont think the clay is in suspension. The clay disappears within a day after a hard rain or after walking in the pond.

Do I just have a ton of plankton and algae since this is my first year, and will it taper off as the summer goes? I am just wondering if this is normal in the pond lifecycle.
