Reasons to Clean your Atlanta, Georgia Pond

Some ponds are never cleaned and the ponds and its residents survive very well. However, a majority of ponds are established with high fish densities 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 aquatic animals in the beginning, in a balanced aquatic environment they will breed to an unsustatinable level until the number of fish will overcome the environmental balance of your pond and maintenance levels.

Cleaning in the fall helps eliminate wastes in the bottom of the aquatic environment which may turn anaerobic if sufficient oxygen is not forming, generating a breeding supply for harmful organisms, or which may decompose, creating ammonia and other dangerous chemicals that can be kept under the water shelf. The establishment of these pollutants can lead to fish kills over the winter months. While keeping a clearing in the ice during winter will help with alleviating the buildup of toxins, pond maintenance before the beginning of winter will reduce the overall possiblity of problems.

Maintaining the aquatic environment in the warmer months may assist in reducing infections and parasites that often form as the aquatic environment and its accompanying biology warms up for the summer, as well as eliminate the overall availability of nutrients that stimulate algae growth.
