Do a search for "new pond syndrome" or "fish tank and pond cycling"
This is a normal thing to happen when first starting up a pond or fishtank, you need to cycle the water. This is going to keep happening until you get your little ecosystem stablized. Don't keep emptying the pond and filling with new water, you're just starting the process over every time you do.

if its a milky or grayish look to the cloudiness, its possibly a bacterial bloom...green is single cell algeas...brown is tannins from decaying vegetation, tree leaves are most likely. what color is the cloudiness?...refer to this thread posting........... http://www.gardenpon...ality-problems/

If you completely drained the pond and refilled it.. yes, it is a new pond. You are pretty much starting over when you do that.

Do you have city water and are you treating it first or do you have well water .Have you gotten a lot of rain or big changes in weather ,I know all those things can cause a problem

They think it's playtime .I gave my fish a gravel and oyster shell basket and you should have seen them root through it ,they were literally fighting over it .There was 6 or 7 of them trying to get in at it and it was one of those plant baskets .
ok then a dont fink thay will get mine out the way the roots have gone lol
