My smallest pond has similar soil color and also has similar looking water color. We have a glacial lake not far from here named Green lake. It has a 10-15' thick layer of red algae about 50 feet deep which creates the same effect, red is absorbed from the light that enters and the result is brilliant green looking water. Look forward to your "after" pics!

Would those that say "it can't be done" please refrain from interrupting those that are doing it...
