All my WH were the same way. when I added my Wh the started to turn
brown. As the nitrAtes increased they started to green up again. But it
wasn't till I added Potash to the ponds that they really started to
really GREEN UP. The older leave are still dying, off but the new leaves
and "PUPS" are dark green and growing.

I am normally against dosing haphazardly, but since Potash is a relatively
safe addition to the pond, I'll chime in that I agree. My plants seem to
yellow, and then go back to green when I does with Potash. I use a fat
tablespoon per 1000 gallons, every few weeks.
