snrub, it totally agree man. And i would also prefer black dye. It looks like a lake in a rain forest. Dyed by all the logs and dry leaves...
+1 I want my pond to look natural for its setting. To me, ponds are supposed to be some shade of green or clear. Wish they made a pond dye in a "natural" green shade!
Cody Note. Clear water, such as the Caribbean, reflect the sky color, some shade of blue. I think this is what the dye companies try to copy.
