A quick update. The jar I bottled 6 days ago seems about 80% as clear as a jar of tap water as compared to a fresh jar of pond water. There is also “dust” looking particles on the bottom, so I’m assuming that’s the clay. So maybe it will eventually settle out?
That said the pond seems as murky as ever. I’ve kept aeration on 24/7 to try to help it settle out away from the diffusers, but after a week it seems roughly the same. I’m wondering when I should switch tactics and try flocculant. I’m ok with it being murky for now but would like it cleared up by next spring, so perhaps I wait until then and if it’s murky again in the spring then I try the flocculant. What do you all think of that?
