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

Pondscapes Atlanta has that trained eye. Our experts have over fifteen years of aquatic management experience.

Pulling from this extensive background he can assist in getting your beloved fish healthy again quickly. Often times, a quick water quality sampling and assessment are enough to help a fish-related problem.

Once we have verified the issue, we can make suggestions on how to eradicate parasites and disease based on the specific problem.

Reasons to Clean your Stone Mountain, Georgia Pond

Some aquatic environments are never cleaned and the ponds and its occupants survive very well. However, a majority of ponds are established with high fish densities or are established in spots where the aquatic environment receives a great deal of debris during the season. Regardless if you start out with just a few aquatic animals initially, in a healthy pond they will breed to the point that the number of aquatic creatures will push the environmental limits of your aquatic environment and pumps.

Cleaning during the autumn months reduces wastes in the bottom of the aquatic environment which may become anaerobic if necessary oxygen is not forming, generating a breeding ground for harmful organisms, or which may start rotting, releasing ammonia and other harmful chemicals that can be trapped under the water shelf. The continual establishment of these toxins can create fish depopulation over the winter months. While keeping a hole in the ice during winter will help with alleviating the accumulation of gases, pond cleaning before the beginning of winter will help eliminate the overall potential for issues.

Cleaning the pond in the warmer months may help with reducing infections and unwanted organisms that often occur as the pond and its biology heat up for the middle of the year, as well as eliminate the overall availability of food that start algae growth.
