| My pond also goes through some of these ugly colors but, did you know that the green algae water brings out the koi's best color. In Japan they grow koi in mud ponds to bring out their best color and the fastest growth. I have used a product that causes the floating particals to bind together and fall to the bottom so that the filter can clean it up. Most floating paticles are, are I guess you would say like a opposing side of a magnet. If your koi are large and love, as mine do, to sift through the plants then you may never be able to get the tea color out of the pond. I don't have any plants in the bottom of my pond anymore. they are on the surface. You may have to live with this but I hope that maybe this helps a little. Good Luck! |
