Pond cleaning is one of the most essential part of keeping up with your yard – and we offer the service to help you make sure that your clean koi pond will be beautiful all season long.

As with all things, water gardens can have their share of issues. Leaks, algae blooms and other issues can be very easy to address. However, when the favorite fish starts having problems, it takes an expert to find the problem.

Pondscapes Atlanta has that expert. Our experts have over a decade of aquatic management experience. Our Aquatic Biologist, Rich Carter, has a Bachelors of Science specializing in fisheries and aquaculture. He has supervised many large-scale aquatic stores, and a exotic fish hatchery. From his extensive background he can help with getting your favorite fish back on the road to recovery quickly. Sometimes, a simple water quality sampling and assessment are enough to help an aquatic problem. Unfortunately, there are cases when your fish are far worse than first thought, and we need to supply a microscopic analysis to find out the source of the issues. We have the tools to do just that. Once we know the issue, our experts can make recommendations to eradicate parasites and disease with regards to the specific issue.

Reasons to Clean your 30334 Pond

Some ponds are never cleaned and the ponds and its occupants survive very well. However, a large number of ponds are established with high fish densities or are built in spots where the koi pond receives a great deal of debris over the year. Regardless if you just establish a few fish in the beginning, in a balanced aquatic environment they will multiply to an unsustatinable level until the number of fish will push the environmental limits of your pond and biofilter.

Removing debris during the autumn months reduces wastes in the lower levels of the aquatic environment which may become anaerobic if sufficient oxygen is not available, generating a breeding ground for harmful organisms, or which may decompose, creating ammonia and other dangerous chemicals that can be kept under the ice. The continual build-up of these pollutants can create fish kills during the winter. While maintaining a hole in the ice during the cold season will assist with alleviating the buildup of gases, pond maintenance before winter sets in will reduce the overall potential for problems.

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