Hi Lisa,

Unless it is colloidal, it will settle. If you have a filter, it will take
it out. If you have lots of fish, they may stir it up. If it is raining,
that may keep it stirred.

Take a look at any natural ponds around your place. If their dirt settles,
yours will!

When someone gets mud in our pond, it takes a bit to settle, but does.

Others may have 'speed it up' ideas.

We just put in a new pond Saturday. The past two days it's been raining
and
silt had gotten into the pond. (We put stones around it and didn't even
think to rinse them all off). Will it all settle (still raining as of the
moment) or will we have to do something else to clear it all up.
