Reasons to Clean your Stone Mountain, Georgia Pond

Some ponds are never cleaned and the ponds and its occupants survive very well. However, a large number of aquatic environments are created with large fish densities or are established in spots where the koi pond receives a great deal of debris during the season. Regardless if you start out with just a few aquatic animals initially, in a balanced pond they will multiply to an unsustatinable level until the number of fish will push the environmental balance of your aquatic environment and pumps.

Cleaning during the autumn months reduces wastes in the lower levels of the pond which may turn anaerobic if necessary oxygen is not available, generating a breeding supply for harmful disease, or which may decompose, creating ammonia and other dangerous chemicals that can be trapped under the water shelf. The establishment of these toxins can start fish depopulation over the winter months. While maintaining a clearing in the ice over the cold season will assist with alleviating the accumulation of toxins, pond maintenance before winter sets in will reduce the overall possiblity of problems.

Cleaning the pond in the warmer months may help with reducing infections and parasites that often form as the pond and its biology heat up for the summer, as well as reduce the overall availability of nutrients that start algae growth.
