amount of gunk on the bottom I might as well do so while I am in
there. Reason for the wet suit is I am not a water person unless it
is over 80 and I really hate it when the fish nibble on me. So does
anyone have any ideas for getting it tidy, I know the water will be
murky for awhile but I dont care and I am assuming the goldfish and
koi wont either. Anyway let the ideas flow please

Hi
I also have a large, deep pond and have found that the easiest way to remove the muck from the bottom is to use a good quality electric pond vacuum cleaner. I purchased one, and it really removes debris from the bottom - without getting in the water.
It might be possible to hire one.
