Yes, I am currently doing the jar test as we speak. I plan on getting the water chemistry tested soon. So hopefully that will give me a little more insight into whats going on. The water varies in its turbidity and color season by season it seems. Right now the water sample looks about like dark urine or weak tea. I can see about 12-24" from the surface, which is better than it was a couple of weeks ago when visibility was only a few inches deep. The walnut trees are far enough from shore 10-15' that walnuts arent falling directly into the pond, but I dont think they float and some may roll into the pond from time to time. My concern with them would be the toxin that walnuts carry in the rind, and of course leaf litter in the fall.
I am getting good info doing lots of research online, was just hoping more experienced people would help offer insights to speed up the learning curve a bit. Thank you for taking the time to answer me.
