I just created a monster. I was just going to make a simple little
pond but as I started digging I couldn't stop myself. I know have a
1300 gallon pond - 7.5' x 12.5' ~ 3.5' deep... Problem is I bought
river stone and put it on my shelves (not on the very bottom). I just
started reading the posts of the pros and cons of gravel and I'm
worried.
To top that off, the first bag had some silt left after draining and
when we poured it in the pond it created a nice murky mess!!! It's
day 2 and still has shown no improvement -- I have an internal filter
and external filter both offering biological and mechanical filtration
with a 1300 gph pump. Should i just be patient or is this hopeless?
I added some Laguna Pond Clear and haven't really seen a huge change,
I'd like to see the bottom? is there hope? I'd rather try not to
drain the pond due to the expense of filling another 1300 gallons. I
just want clear water :-/

Please help a newbie!!



Thanks,
Greg
