I am in NW Oregon. I turned my pump on a couple of weeks ago and checked
for freeze damage. Then I turned it off again. Maybe I'll turn it on this
weekend. Can't see any fish. Water is murky from spawning.

Wow, spawning already? Goldfish or koi? What is your water temp?

I'd say start doing water changes. I do them were I have it going it at one
end out the other over a long period of time. Yesterday I did it over an
hour in the lily pond (dechlor used) sure cleared it up. Probably did a 30%
change in that hour at least. ~ jan
