My somewhat new pond has a constant grey and cloudy color to it. It has a blue clay bottom, limestone on two sides, a beach and the grass is pretty well grown up around it now. I posted my pond build thread in my signature for a link.

I dropped the disk in the water and I had around 20" of visibility. I also took a five gallon bucket of water, placed it in my barn and after 3 days it did settle out finally.

Is it just suspended clay from the wind action? Since it settled out on it's own, do I just need to wait until the vegetation starts growing to stop the resuspention of the fine clay?

Any thoughts?
