I pretty much agree, but Green Bob, I think you ought to test your water.
What is your maintenance schedule like? How many fish & types do you have
in this 2500 pond? What kind of media did you use in the filter? ~ jan

The answer is YES! But you are on the road to permanent recovery and clear
water.

Don't add anymore fish to your pond, and don't change your water or mess
with your filter! Patience!

Maybe someone can advise me. My pond water (2500 gallon pond) has gradually
become greener and greener over the years as the fish load increased. I had
a 100 gallon bio-filter. So I increased the filter by adding another filter
in parallel with the other filter for a total filter size of 450 gallons.
But here's what happened. Within about a week the pond started clearing.
By two weeks it was crystal clear, even in hot weather. I was elated and
could see the fish once again. However, after another two weeks the pond
has turned green again. Terrible disappointment. But the question is: Is
this normal? Can I expect it to cycle back and forth for a while as the new
filter grows more bacteria and then eventually stabilize? Thanks for your
help. Green Bob
