I am a complete newby - first post here, so apologies if not enough info.
Question:
I have this orangeish foam growing, and the water has become murky.
What is it and how do I fix it? Pictures attached.
Background:
New pond -
pH = 8.0
1 month old -
5000 gallons -
above ground (ground water cannot run into it) -
goldfish added last week - (from pond builder who maintains many - came from pond with too many fish)
some water hyacinth but not much else for plants -
has pump, skimmer, waterfall, 4 airstones bubbling - UV lights in skimmer
water is well water.
