paul ive had that happen in my koi tank. pack the first stage of your filter with cottonballs. it will catch most of it. over a 2-3 day time it will clear up dramatically. altho you have to change the cottonballs daily or they will stop up and your water flow will decrease dramatically.

my water parameter is still perfect at ammo=0; nitrite=0;nitrate=20.
so i became restless and could not concentrate on my tv watching...
and i brought out my beer and do the modification of my filter. i will
post the pictures tomorrow morning including the improvement of my water
color...if there is any.....you will be surprised on what i did!
