Reasons to Clean your Lithonia, Georgia Pond

Some ponds are never cleaned and the waterways and its occupants survive very well. However, a majority of ponds are created with high fish populations or are established in locations where the koi pond receives a great deal of debris during the season. Even if you just establish a few fish in the beginning, in a balanced pond they will multiply to the point that the number of aquatic creatures will push the environmental balance of your aquatic environment and maintenance levels.

Removing debris in the fall reduces wastes in the bottom of the aquatic environment which may turn anaerobic if necessary oxygen is not available, generating a breeding supply for harmful bacteria, or which may decompose, releasing ammonia and other harmful chemicals that can be trapped under the water shelf. The continual build-up of these toxins can start fish kills over the winter months. While keeping a hole in the ice during winter will help with alleviating the buildup of gases, pond maintenance before winter sets in will help eliminate the overall possiblity of issues.

Cleaning the aquatic environment in the spring may help with reducing infections and parasites that often occur as the aquatic environment and its accompanying biology warms up for the summer, as well as eliminate the overall availability of food that start algae blooms.
