I have a liner pond about 5ft * 3ft and at max about 18ins deep. 6 fish
plus one lily some oxygenating plants also bulrushes and 3 marginals.
There appears to be a dust like substance covering the plants and all
lower surfaces of the pound. Using a commercial product called Sludge
Buster, this sinks the dust but not completely it certainly does not
eradicate the problem. This dust is easily disturbed. I have not got a
external filter but have a small fountain to help circulate the water.
What suggestions are there to resolve this problem? Regards.

==============================================
I would think a good filter would remove it. Start with a fine filter
material such as polyester fiber to trap most of it. Without a filter there
is nothing to remove suspended particles from the water so eventually they
sink to the bottom. They will collect everywhere.
