Reasons to Clean your Atlanta, Georgia Pond

Some ponds are never maintained and the ponds and its occupants survive very well. However, a large number of ponds are created with high fish populations or are established in spots where the aquatic environment is inundated with a great deal of debris over the year. Regardless if you just establish a few fish initially, in a healthy aquatic environment they will breed to an unsustatinable level until the number of aquatic creatures will push the environmental limits of your pond and filters.

Cleaning during the autumn months reduces wastes in the bottom of the aquatic environment which may become anaerobic if necessary oxygen is not available, generating a breeding supply for harmful bacteria, or which may decompose, creating ammonia and other dangerous chemicals that can be kept under the water shelf. The build-up of these toxins can lead to fish kills over the winter months. While maintaining a clearing in the ice during winter will help with alleviating the buildup of toxins, pond maintenance before winter sets in will reduce the overall potential for issues.

Maintaining the aquatic environment in the spring may assist in reducing infections and parasites that often occur as the pond and its biology warms up for the middle of the year, as well as eliminate the overall availability of nutrients that start algae growth.
