: Just wondering if anyone can recommend a pond clarifier that offers a long term solution? I'm not having much trouble with algae.. just dark cloudy water.. Again, fish don't seem to mind but it would be nice to see them once in a while besides when they're eating!
: Thanks in advance..

hi aaron,
I think keeping the water clear would depend on the source of the dark water.
If its tannins, or if its a bloom of some sort.

These are only suggestions, for your consideration only.
Remove materials in pond that are leaching tannins. Improve your fiter system.

Modify your filter to polish the water, pet stores carry aquarium safe filter floss material.
by modifying your filter return to pass through several layers of this floss, you can frequently clear up the water.
