Pond Cleaning - 30348

At PondScapes Atlanta, we have been creating and maintaining koi ponds all over Atlanta for hundreds of customers for over a decade. Pond cleaning is a very essential part of keeping up with your landscaping – and we offer the service to make sure that your clean koi pond will be gorgeous all season long.

As with all things, water gardens have their share of issues. Leaks, cloudy water and other issues can be relatively easy to fix. However, when the favorite koi starts acting funny, it takes a trained eye to find the cause.

Pondscapes Atlanta has that expert. Between us we have over fifteen years of aquatic management experience. Our Aquatic Biologist, Rich Carter, has a BS in Science in fisheries and aquaculture. He has managed many large-scale fish stores, and a exotic fish hatchery. From his extensive background he can assist in getting your favorite fish healthy again quickly. Often times, a quick water quality sampling and observation are enough to fix an aquatic problem. Unfortunately, sometimes your aquatic environment are far worse than first thought, and we need to use microscopic analysis to pinpoint the source of the problem. We have the tools to accomplish just that. Once we know the problem, we can make recommendations to eradicate parasites and disease based on the specific issue.

Reasons to Clean your 30348 Pond

Some aquatic environments are never cleaned and the waterways and its residents survive very well. However, a large number of ponds are created with large fish densities or are established in locations where the aquatic environment is inundated with a great deal of debris over the year. Regardless if you just establish a few aquatic animals initially, in a balanced pond they will multiply to the point that the number of aquatic creatures will push the environmental balance of your aquatic environment and filters.

Removing debris in the fall helps eliminate wastes in the lower levels of the pond which may become anaerobic if sufficient oxygen is not forming, generating a breeding supply for harmful organisms, or which may start rotting, releasing ammonia and other harmful pollutants that can be kept under the ice. The continual build-up of these toxins can create fish depopulation during the winter. While keeping a hole in the ice during the cold season will assist with alleviating the accumulation of toxins, pond cleaning before winter sets in will reduce the overall potential for issues.

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