Default green particals in water

Ah yes, the elusive search for "gin clear" water! I know it well. . .

Everything K30a said works, given time and space. However, I needed a UV and
"fine" filtration to clean the water to the point I wanted it. By "fine"
filtration, I mean that I went to a "pillow" made from window screen and
stuffed with same, topped by a mesh bag with about 15 yards of cheap veil
from Wal-Mart (mine is bright green, purchased last St. Patrick's day for
about 25 cents a yard!). This stuff is placed in my skimmer box and requires
almost daily cleaning (sometimes morning/night during the summer). But I
have clear water!!! It depends on how much work you want to put in to it.
The fix is relatively cheap in $$$, but a little demanding on your time.
Depending on where you live, it may not be so bad: I live in Central FL, and
deal with heavy sunlight and water temp issues, all conducive to runaway
algae problems!

Our pond water is pretty clean except for these small green suspended
particals.
The pond is 30" deep and one can still see to the bottom.
Ant ideas on how to get rid of this?
I want gin clear water.
