Default Why is my pond turning tea colored?

The tea color is tannins and it is probably coming from the oak pollen. The
only ways that I know of to get the tea color out is one a major water
change, the other is the use of activated charcoal.

My pond looks brown/tea colored. I haven't changed anything, the only
thing I can think of is rain or oak pollen (both of which we've had a
lot of in the last 2 weeks). Is there anything I can do to get the water
clear again, or at least green. The brown water just looks like sewage
or something.

Thanks
Mike
