bloom?.. filter problems?.. need more plants? or something i just havta be
patient with? let me know. thanx

Green is algae, that's to be expected (probably 80% of questions here
are related to algae), but brown may be silt.

How does ground water /rainwater flow around your pond? I finally had
to dig a small trench all around the uphill side of my pond to keep
most of the the rain runoff out.
