As with all things, water gardens have their share of problems. Leaks, cloudy water and other issues can be relatively easy to address. However, when the favorite koi starts having problems, it takes a trained eye to find the problem.

Pondscapes Atlanta has that expert. Between us we have over fifteen years of aquatic management experience. Our Aquatic Biologist, Rich Carter, has a Bachelors of Science in fisheries and aquatic environments. He has managed several large-scale aquatic stores, and a tropical fish hatchery. Pulling from this extensive background our expert can help with getting your beloved fish healthy again quickly. Often times, a simple water quality test and assessment are enough to help a fish-related problem. Unfortunately, there are cases when your fish are far worse off, and we need to supply a microscopic analysis to pinpoint the source of the problem. Pondscapes Atlanta has the tools to accomplish just that. Once we know the issue, we can make suggestions on how to eradicate parasites and diseases based on the specific issue.

Reasons to Clean your Alpharetta, GA 30009 Pond

Some ponds are never cleaned and the waterways and its residents survive handsomely. However, a large number of aquatic environments are created with large fish densities or are built in locations where the aquatic environment receives a great deal of debris over the year. Regardless if you just establish a few aquatic animals in the beginning, in a balanced pond they will breed to an unsustatinable level until the number of aquatic creatures will push the environmental limits of your pond and pumps.

Cleaning during the autumn months reduces wastes in the lower levels of the aquatic environment which may turn anaerobic if sufficient oxygen is not available, generating a breeding ground for harmful disease, or which may decompose, releasing ammonia and other harmful pollutants that can be trapped under the ice. The build-up of these toxins can start fish depopulation during the winter. While maintaining a clearing in the ice over winter will help with alleviating the accumulation of toxins, pond maintenance before the beginning of winter will reduce the overall possiblity of issues.

Cleaning the pond in the warmer months may assist in reducing infections and parasites that often occur as the pond and its accompanying biology heat up for the middle of the year, as well as reduce the overall availability of nutrients that start algae growth.
