No fish it could just be the look of well water. Mine clears in a couple days.

Good media in new water would be what I've heard called a bacteria bloom. I think of it as guys all dressed up to party but not enough to do to keep them busy, so they go out lookin for trouble. Put in a fish or two. Clears up in a couple days.

Yes, there are 3 koi in it. Filter is new, had not been cycled. I got new test kits today and no ammonia or nitrites.
