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

Pondscapes Atlanta has that trained eye. Our experts have over fifteen years of aquatic management experience. Our expert, Rich Carter, has a BS in Science specializing in fisheries and aquatic environments. He has managed many large-scale fish stores, and a exotic fish hatchery. From his extensive background he can help with getting your beloved fish back on the road to recovery quickly. Sometimes, a simple water quality sampling and observation are enough to fix a fish-related problem. Unfortunately, sometimes your fish are far worse than first thought, and we need to use microscopic analysis to pinpoint the source of the problem. Pondscapes Atlanta has the tools to accomplish just that. Once we know the problem, our experts can make recommendations to eradicate parasites and disease with regards to the specific problem.

Reasons to Clean your 30033 Pond

Some aquatic environments are never maintained and the ponds and its residents survive very well. However, a large number of aquatic environments are established with high fish populations or are established in locations where the koi pond is inundated with a great deal of debris over the year. Regardless if you start out with just a few aquatic animals initially, in a balanced pond they will breed to the point that the number of fish will overcome the environmental limits of your pond and pumps.

Removing debris in the fall helps eliminate wastes in the lower levels of the pond which may become anaerobic if sufficient oxygen is not available, creating a breeding ground for harmful organisms, or which may decompose, releasing ammonia and other dangerous pollutants that can be trapped under the ice. The build-up of these pollutants can start fish kills over the winter months. While maintaining a clearing in the ice during winter will help with alleviating the buildup of toxins, pond maintenance before the beginning of winter will help eliminate the overall possiblity of problems.

Cleaning the aquatic environment in the warmer months may help with 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 eliminate the overall supplication of food that start algae growth.
