We've got 17 Acres of water, 8 ft at deepest. I was gone this week and came back home to a muddy pond. It was 4-5 ft. visibility when i left - it usually doesn't get REAL clear - but now it is 6 inches to 1ft. We had some rain, but not enough to put 2 inches in my pool, so that's not enough to stain it. No cows in the water, it's not catfish.
The wind was relatively light this week compared to the previous 3 weeks and there really isnt enough exposed clay to cause a problem there.
Does the pond "turning over" sometimes cause this?
Or it sounds like from reading that maybe this is an algae bloom? The water is like chocolate milk - not greenish. Although I am seeing some new green algae on the surface near the shore in spots.
How do you tell if its algae?
thanks
