What can I use to clean up the water and make it a tad bit more clear?
Don't do that. Clear water helps weeds grow in it.

I like weeds.

Isn't there somewhere around greenwell springs road (may be mistaken) with a super green pond in their front yard? I wonder how much that upkeep was. It was like died water or something.

I like catching them with leather gloves and making them sting the leather tip and pulling their guys out. frick wasps. They can all die a slow painful death.
Dish soap and water gets their asses too.

I used to dye the golf course lakes black. Gave them a mirror look. Also helps with underwater weed control. That can take over a small pond quick. The dye ain't cheap though.

Yeah I didn't think so. I always thought "man, if I were going to spend all that money on dye of at least get a blue color or something. Guess I know why he didn't, now.

With non muddy water the blue or green can look Ok. The black looks good suprisingly. I think it keeps sunlight from reaching to deep end and promoting weed growth.

I bet the black looks pretty cool. I would see this particular house as a kid and just remember thinking that is all.

Yeah that's pretty sexy. I'd go with that myself. I think OP would like that too. Looks to be his style.
I'm sure it's out the arse expensive though.
That glass top/mirror image is so

Blue is nice. I used it a couple times in my pond. Was cheaper to buy it off ebay. I really need to order more. My pond is super clear even after added all kinds of crap. Fighting grass is a bitch.
The green dye looks like shite. That black, not me. I think that will block to much light. Ponds need algae growth.

How big and deep is your pond? My pond is about 1 1/2 ac and it takes about 1 gallon to treat. Cost around $100. Last about a year. That depends on how much rain or water I pump in from my well.LINK
Here you go.
