One more point, maybe you should add a berm to keep the clay from
washing into the pond.

I have laid rock and sod in all areas where the clay can wash in, except for
one area near the VF. I don't think it is running in anymore, because the
ground around those areas does not seem to show run off damage. I do plan to
run some more rock there, just in case, but I think the problem is my
current clay, not the extra.

I noticed when I was cleaning it last week, the water was getting very
clear. In fact the VF was perfect. Then I got in to do some maintenance,
stirred it up and ick...it was back. I think the particles are so fine that
they just stay suspended with the slightest motion of the water.

The McGyver filter is helping, but not drastically. I am beginning to think
water changes (after a proper stirring as my wife said) will be the next
line of attack. Waiter? A pictcher of Amquel please.
