Reasons to Clean your Talmo, 30575 Pond

Some ponds are never cleaned and the ponds and its residents survive handsomely. However, a majority of ponds are created with high fish populations 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 healthy pond they will breed to the point that the number of aquatic creatures will push the environmental limits of your pond and filters.

Cleaning in the fall reduces wastes in the lower levels of the pond which may become anaerobic if sufficient oxygen is not available, creating a breeding supply for harmful disease, or which may start rotting, creating ammonia and other harmful chemicals that can be trapped under the ice. The continual build-up of these pollutants can create fish kills during the winter. While maintaining a hole in the ice over the cold season will help with alleviating the accumulation of gases, pond cleaning before the beginning of winter will reduce the overall possiblity of problems.

Maintaining the aquatic environment in the warmer months may assist in reducing diseases and parasites that often occur as the aquatic environment and its biology warms up for the middle of the year, as well as reduce the overall availability of nutrients that stimulate algae growth.
