The brown color, other than a form of planktonic algae that has filled in a niche the FA occupied along with some suspended solids, could also be zooplankton.
Bill Cody?
My trout pond in the summer's I have left it devoid of fish, and turned the well off, took on a brown color. Sent a sample to Bill Cody and he indicated it was predomiately a benign golden algae species.
It did a great job of keeping macrophytes at bay.
