Kittyzee,
I'm sorry if you thought my remarks about clear water being not the same as good water was directed at you. They were not, but I can see how it could look like it. It was just a comment on pond keeping in general, and fish keepers in particular.
I will make sure I express myself much more clearly in the future.
Rapid clearing always surprises me too. In fact, after an overnight clearing, I've seen Koi that suddenly became very skittish and hid from view. I guess the sudden change surprised them too.
