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. "Terry Stabb" wrote in message news I added a bag of pond straw last night to my pond and the water was clear.

Do not drain your pond to start over again! The tanning will ultimately go
away soon. PS: Make sure your parameters are ok! -- _______________________________________ "Architecture is the ultimate erotic 'object'."

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 "Just Me "Koi"" wrote in message ...
