As with all things, water gardens have their share of issues. Leaks, algae blooms and other problems can be relatively easy to address. However, when the favorite fish starts having problems, it takes a trained eye to find the cause.

Pondscapes Atlanta has that professional. Between us we have over a decade of aquatic management experience. Our expert, Rich Carter, has a Bachelors of Science in fisheries and aquaculture. He has supervised many large-scale fish stores, and a tropical fish hatchery. From his extensive background he can help with getting your favorite fish healthy again quickly. Sometimes, a quick water quality sampling 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 find out the source of the problem. Pondscapes Atlanta has the tools to do just that. Once we know the issue, our experts can make recommendations to eradicate parasites and disease based on the specific problem.

Reasons to Clean your Atlanta, 30353 Pond

Some ponds are never maintained and the waterways and its residents survive handsomely. However, a majority of ponds are established with large fish densities or are built in spots where the koi pond is inundated with a great deal of debris during the season. Even if you start out with just a few aquatic animals initially, in a balanced aquatic environment they will breed to an unsustatinable level until the number of fish will overcome the environmental limits of your aquatic environment and maintenance levels.

Removing debris in the fall helps eliminate wastes in the lower levels of the pond which may turn anaerobic if sufficient oxygen is not forming, creating a breeding supply for harmful disease, or which may start rotting, releasing ammonia and other dangerous pollutants that can be trapped under the water shelf. The continual build-up of these pollutants can create fish depopulation during the winter. While keeping a clearing in the ice during the cold season will assist with alleviating the accumulation of gases, pond cleaning before the beginning of winter will reduce the overall possiblity of problems.

Cleaning the pond in the spring may help with reducing diseases and parasites that often occur as the pond and its accompanying biology warms up for the middle of the year, as well as eliminate the overall availability of food that start algae growth.
