The tannins are good for your eco system, they act as an anti-oxidiser. Good
for the fish and plants, it will clear up as soon as the pollen wave is
over.

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
