As with all things, water gardens can have their share of problems. Leaks, cloudy water and other issues can be very easy to address. However, when the favorite koi starts having problems, it takes a trained eye 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 aquatic environments. He has managed many large-scale fish 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 quick water quality test and observation are enough to help a fish-related problem. Unfortunately, there are cases when your fish are far worse than first thought, and we need to use microscopic analysis to pinpoint the source of the issues. We have the right tools to do just that. Once we know the problem, we can make recommendations to eradicate parasites and diseases with regards to the specific issue.

Reasons to Clean your Dunwoody, GA 30338 Pond

Some ponds are never maintained and the waterways and its occupants survive handsomely. However, a large number of ponds are created with high fish populations or are established in locations where the aquatic environment receives a great deal of debris over the year. Even if you just establish a few fish in the beginning, in a balanced aquatic environment they will breed to the point that the number of fish will overcome the environmental limits of your pond and filters.

Cleaning during the autumn months helps eliminate wastes in the lower levels of the pond which may turn anaerobic if necessary oxygen is not available, generating a breeding ground for harmful disease, or which may start rotting, releasing ammonia and other dangerous pollutants that can be kept under the ice. The continual build-up of these pollutants can start fish depopulation during the winter. While keeping a hole in the ice over winter will assist with alleviating the accumulation of toxins, pond maintenance before the beginning of winter will help eliminate the overall possiblity of problems.

Cleaning the pond in the spring may help with reducing infections and parasites that often form as the pond and its accompanying biology warms up for the summer, as well as reduce the overall availability of food that stimulate algae growth.
