Well was warned this would happen but not to worry can see top pond beginning to clear no chemicals used just oxygenators not deterring the birds though.

Oh dear, Bonkers! I wonder if this is because you used tap water? I used rainwater in mine and it's stayed clear so far. A bundle of barley straw is meant to help - something to do with bacteria that lives on it, I think?

Yes - advice always seems to come a couple of weeks too late dosen't it. Watched Gardeners World yesterday and talked all about sowing beans and courgettes and things - a full week AFTER I'd sown all mine :-S
