Foam and tea colored water

[Ivybean]

My pond is about 300 gallons with 2 aerator stones. No filtration. 3 3" fish and 11 2". Some plants and some string algae. I use microbe lift products. I get foam and tea colored water.

Hello and welcome!

Tea-colored water is usually due to tannins (from leaves, tree branches….)

and welcome @Ivybean
I don't use products or chemicals for my water. Lots of times they become the problem not the answer.

I have the same problem, going to try a media bag of activated carbon in the filter. Good luck!
