Cloudy Water Can't Post

I've just changed 50% of my pond water after a 0.3% salt treatment with anti-parasite solution due to some parasitic problem when I introduced some new kois lately. The treatment works well but the water is a little cloudy after the change out. This was the 1st time I've used salt in the pond and I've not had cloudy water problems with normal weekly water changes in the past. I've tried commercial solutions to clear the water but it is not working. Unimpressed Any ideas?

Cloudy waters either indicate a stir up of debris, however, if it is cloudy everywhere, then most likely the beneficial bacteria balance have been interrupted, with the cause likely to be the water change, and the anti parasite solution.

Be patient, and don't touch the filter until the balance is back. Once the biological bugs find balance, the pond water should be clear again.

Thanks for the pointers.

I've been using a new bacteria seed lately and the water hasn't been good. Think I'll go back using the enzyme solution which worked wonders in the past. Biozyme + Kusuri Klay = glass like water with dark green algae on the pond walls. Guess I shouldn't fix anything that's not broken

Last time when I set-up aqua plant in aquarium (120 litres)and had similar problem with cloudy water, waited for half day no progress, then I use one product made in China called "BADUN", 1/2 sachet of powder put into the filter and the water turn into crystal clear in 40 minutes. until now I still do not have any idea how it works, on the box also mentioned that we can apply it for pond...I don't know whether this works with similar process as Biozyme as you mentioned...I wonder if anyone in the forum ever use this Badun product and can give us some insight on the process....

Poured a full litre of Bacta-Pur into the filter and about 480ml of Biozyme into the pond yesterday evening. The water cleared up overnight but there's still a tinge of greenish yellow hue to it Crazy Let's see how it turns out with a 25% water changeout coming saturday.
