Our pond is "tea" color. It has been from day one (now 2 years old) This is caused by the fact that we have a bog that drains into the pond and hemlock forrest all around. It seems to have no effect on the water quality or the health of the fish. The pH of the water tends to be acidic so we put 4 tons of limestone in last year and may need more this spring. The pond is about 1 1/2 acres and varies in depth from a few inches to 16 feet. As long as your Ph level and alkalinity are at good levels I don't think you'll have any issue with the color of the water. Also don't think there will be any way to deal with the color.
