Reasons to Clean your Oakwood, 30566 Pond

Some ponds are never cleaned and the waterways and its occupants survive very well. However, a large number of ponds are established with high fish densities or are built in locations where the koi pond receives a great deal of debris over the year. Regardless if you start out with just a few fish initially, in a balanced pond they will breed to the point that the number of fish will push the environmental limits of your pond and pumps.

Removing debris during the autumn months reduces wastes in the bottom of the pond which may become anaerobic if necessary oxygen is not available, generating a breeding supply for harmful bacteria, or which may start rotting, releasing ammonia and other dangerous chemicals that can be trapped under the water shelf. The establishment of these toxins can start fish depopulation over the winter months. While maintaining a hole in the ice over the cold season will help with alleviating the buildup of gases, pond maintenance before the beginning of winter will help eliminate the overall possiblity of issues.

Maintaining the aquatic environment in the spring may assist in 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 nutrients that start algae blooms.
