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

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 specializing in fisheries and aquatic environments. He has supervised several large-scale aquatic stores, and a tropical fish hatchery. Pulling from this extensive background he can help with getting your favorite fish healthy again quickly. Often times, a simple 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 supply a microscopic analysis to find out the source of the problem. Pondscapes Atlanta has the right tools to accomplish just that. Once we have verified the problem, our experts can make recommendations to eradicate parasites and diseases with regards to the specific situation.

Reasons to Clean your Dunwoody, Georgia Pond

Some aquatic environments are never maintained and the waterways and its occupants survive very well. However, a large number of ponds are created with large fish densities or are built in spots where the koi pond receives a great deal of debris over the year. Even if you start out with just a few fish initially, in a balanced aquatic environment they will breed to the point that the number of fish will overcome the environmental balance of your pond and filters.

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, generating a breeding ground for harmful organisms, or which may decompose, releasing ammonia and other harmful chemicals that can be trapped under the ice. The establishment of these toxins can create fish depopulation over the winter months. While keeping a hole in the ice over the cold season will help with alleviating the accumulation of toxins, pond cleaning before winter sets in will reduce the overall possiblity of issues.

Cleaning the pond in the spring may help with reducing infections and parasites that often form as the pond and its biology heat up for the middle of the year, as well as reduce the overall availability of nutrients that start algae blooms.
