Have you had a considerable green plankton bloom just before this started?
Looking like this for example.

My water is often that color. It really got green after a big (4’) rain a few weeks ago. It is jello like in spots, with bubbles trapped in it. It’s still here. I’m at farm now. Getting a bit of rain. About 3/10”. I’ll see if that helps.
If the rain doesn’t help, what do you think I can expect? How long will this stuff hang around?
Thx

RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
