Big Pond

[Surfdaddy]

Just a home with a huge pond in backyard 35 x 110ft and 16ft in center... There is no equip setup in this pond, no liner.. There are 2 runoff streams from the mountain that go into and 1 stream out to creek.. There are tons of koi and goldfish.. The water is a little murky and I would like to clear it up... Where do I start??? I plan on bringing 400amps to house next month and maybe dedicating 50 to the pond for pumps and maybe waterfall coming off a stump..

Hello and welcome back! I see you visited back in 2010. Is this the same pond?

A Gypsum treatment will effectively clear the water column, but it needs to be spread evenly over the surface of the water.

If you have a pond with koi and goldfish that empties into a natural waterway, I would remove all fish before you receive a hefty fine.

This is true. Good catch @MitchM

Good reason to buy a small paddle boat .I see here they use them to pull the aerator fountains in the center of the pond to clean them off .
