As with all things, water gardens have their share of issues. Leaks, algae blooms and other problems can be relatively easy to fix. However, when the favorite fish starts acting funny, it takes a trained eye to find the problem.

Pondscapes Atlanta has that trained eye. Between us we have over a decade of aquatic management experience. Our expert, Rich Carter, has a BS in Science specializing in fisheries and aquatic environments. He has managed several large-scale fish stores, and a tropical fish hatchery. Pulling from this extensive background our expert can help with getting your favorite fish back on the road to recovery quickly. Sometimes, a simple water quality sampling and observation are enough to help a fish-related problem. Unfortunately, there are cases when your aquatic environment are far worse off, and we need to supply a microscopic analysis to pinpoint the source of the issues. Pondscapes Atlanta has the right tools to accomplish just that. Once we know the issue, we can make suggestions on how to eradicate parasites and disease based on the specific problem.

Reasons to Clean your 31192 Pond

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

Cleaning in the fall reduces wastes in the lower levels of the pond which may become anaerobic if sufficient oxygen is not forming, creating a breeding supply for harmful bacteria, or which may start rotting, releasing ammonia and other dangerous pollutants that can be trapped under the water shelf. The continual build-up of these toxins can lead to fish kills during the winter. While maintaining a clearing in the ice during winter will assist with alleviating the buildup of toxins, pond maintenance before winter sets in will reduce the overall potential for issues.

Cleaning the aquatic environment in the spring may assist in reducing diseases and unwanted organisms that often form as the aquatic environment and its accompanying biology warms up for the middle of the year, as well as reduce the overall availability of food that start algae blooms.
