Anyways, my question is this - right after filling it, we got a bunch of
dirt blown into the pond (we have dirt around the pond now, which will
soon
be used to plant flowers, etc), which has accumulated on the bottom. Is
there anything I can use to easily remove the dirt? For this size pond
(100
gallons), do I need a filter of some sort? The intake on my pump has a
"filter" that captures debris, but I don't think it is real efficient.

Is the dirt suspended in the water or is it sinking to the bottom? If at the
bottom, you can shop vac it out or scoop it by hand out of the water. If it
is suspended, I feel your pain. I am dealing with an orange pond myself.
