4-25RedLeg - okay for your information that you provided so far. Now I have a several more important questions to provide you more information about your use of colorant and use of pond water in the house. The more educated that you are, the better you will know your options and be able to know about managing for better water quality especially for mainly domestic water use. I assume that is the main goal for the pond???? Or is there a more important goal for having the pond?

I have lots of questions relating to giving answers for your pond concerns to provide good informative answers. .
6. Pond size I do not see the size of pond that you have.
7. Pond shape? Aerial or Google view?
8. Why are two diffusers in 6' of water instead in the deepest part?
9. Brand and type of air compressor and the brand and type of diffusers?. A link to the aerator system you have will suffice.
10 Aerator run times??
11. All Fish species that are in the pond.
12. How often do you measure water clarity with Secchi Disk? and do you keep track of the readings?
13. Have you been monthly recording the water temperatures at surface or 3 ft deep from June 01 to Sept 01??
