As with all things, water gardens have their share of issues. Leaks, algae blooms and other issues can be very easy to fix. However, when your favorite koi starts acting funny, 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 aquaculture. He has supervised many large-scale aquatic stores, and a tropical fish hatchery. Pulling from this extensive background he can assist in getting your favorite fish back on the road to recovery quickly. Often times, a quick water quality sampling and observation are enough to help an aquatic problem. Unfortunately, sometimes your fish are far worse than first thought, and we need to supply a microscopic analysis to find out the source of the problem. We have the tools to do just that. Once we have verified the problem, we can make recommendations to eradicate parasites and disease with regards to the specific situation.

Reasons to Clean your Waco, Georgia Pond

Some ponds are never maintained and the waterways and its occupants survive handsomely. However, a large number of ponds are created with large fish populations or are established in locations where the koi pond receives a great deal of debris over the year. Regardless if you start out with just a few aquatic animals initially, in a balanced aquatic environment they will multiply to the point that the number of fish will push the environmental limits of your pond and biofilter.

Removing debris in the fall helps eliminate wastes in the bottom of the pond which may become anaerobic if necessary oxygen is not available, creating a breeding supply for harmful bacteria, or which may decompose, creating ammonia and other harmful chemicals that can be kept under the ice. The continual establishment of these toxins can lead to fish kills over the winter months. While maintaining a hole in the ice over winter will help with alleviating the buildup of gases, pond cleaning before winter sets in will reduce the overall potential for issues.

Maintaining the aquatic environment in the spring may assist in reducing diseases and parasites that often occur as the pond and its biology warms up for the summer, as well as eliminate the overall availability of food that start algae growth.
