    If it’s a new pond it could be off the liner or fibreglass? I’ve had stuff off of liner when it’s first filled although not fibreglass to be honest. Is it oily or more like dust on the surface?

    If you don’t have any fish in there you’ll not start the filter maturing though. Could add a few goldfish to kick it off or something?
