Added pond straw and water turned yellowish-brown
 

I added a bag of pond straw last night to my pond and the water was clear.
I just put the pond in two weeks ago and the water has been crystal clear
the whole time. this morning I looked and the water is a yellowish-brown
color. I can still see the bottom of my pond okay. Could this be because
of the straw and should I drain it and start over?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Terry

I have been using Barley Straw for 4 years and never had yellowing color in
my pond water.

Do not drain your pond to start over again! The tanning will ultimately go
away soon. PS: Make sure your parameters are ok!

B Straw never gave me any color either, been using it for years. However,
tree debris, (pecan tree leaves and green nuts) will very quickly give my
pond a yellow brown tint.
Are you having any leaves falling in?-James
