Reasons to Clean your Atl, Georgia Pond

Some aquatic environments are never maintained and the waterways and its occupants survive very well. However, a majority of ponds are established with large fish populations or are built in locations where the aquatic environment is inundated with a great deal of debris during the season. Even if you just establish a few fish initially, in a healthy pond they will breed to the point that the number of fish will overcome the environmental limits of your aquatic environment and filters.

Removing debris during the autumn months reduces wastes in the bottom of the pond which may turn anaerobic if necessary oxygen is not available, creating a breeding supply for harmful bacteria, or which may start rotting, creating ammonia and other harmful chemicals that can be kept under the ice. The establishment of these toxins can create fish kills during the winter. While keeping a hole in the ice over winter will assist with alleviating the buildup of gases, pond maintenance before winter sets in will help eliminate the overall potential for issues.

Maintaining the pond in the spring may help with reducing diseases and parasites that often occur as the pond and its accompanying biology warms up for the summer, as well as eliminate the overall availability of nutrients that start algae growth.
