Water really cloudy and super hot right now. options?

[texmaster]

Hi folks,

I just added some lilipads to my pond and my water is really cloudy. I have an aqua bead filter but its just not maintaining clarity. I do have some microbe bacteria but its a few years old and I didn't know if it would be safe to use. Wasn't sure if I can do anything when the temps are in the 100s. The pond is covered by a pergola

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Its a 9x7x3.5 pond.

What is your water temp? What do you have for water movement?

Shade, depth, amount of water and or a chiller is about it

What are your water parameters? Cloudy water? Dark silty cloudy or white/opaque cloudy? The latter is usually a bacterial bloom.
