Maintenance

 

No matter how well built, your pond will need to be inspected periodically to be sure no problems are developing. Severe storms with heavy rains can cause problems with the bottom and the sides of the pond. Inspect the pond regularly for leaks. Repairs will be less expensive if found early.

 

We also inspect pipes and filters for debris that may have accumulated throughout time and ensure that you have sufficient filtration in place to ensure a clean and clear pond for you to enjoy. Finally we check the surrounds for burrowing by small animals.

 

Aquatic planting, ph testing and  replacement of protective netting should also be considered at this time

 

Spring Clean your Pond

 

Does your pond look a little sad after the winter? Let us clean your pond. We can also clean and check the productivity of your pumps and filters. No one likes a murky pond covered in algae. We will remove surface algae and dead leaves which can also build up on the base of your pond and which will over time contaminate your pond with rotting matter and ultimately reduce the volume of your pond. We can thin out over populated areas of aquatic vegetation and provide a wide selection of aquatic plants which can add beautiful colour and species variety and oxygenation. Click Here for more about aquatic planting. This can generally be done without the need to remove your fish however this will vary from pond to pond.

 

Emptying and cleaning garden fish ponds and pond surfaces

Let's say you have a crack or leak in a pond and you have to have it emptied empty it to make repairs. It is then important to plan ahead. Some people will arrange for their fish to be kept in someone else's pond but this can be bad for both parties and should be avoided if at all possible. We can provide holding tanks on site where necessary.

 Here's what you need to consider ....

1. Stop feeding fish one week before time to empty pond. Toxic ammonia or nitrites if present will build up in a holding tank. This is why you stopped feeding to minimise chances of toxic build up.

 We will...

1. Provide as large a temporary pond or holding tank on site as is suitable for your fish. 
 

2. Clean out the pond using pond water.

3. For larger projects which will obviously take longer to complete we will arrange for an air pump possibly  with a mechanism for distributing the air such as air stones.

4. On the day in question we will empty the pond pump pond water into the temporary pond and start pumping air into the water.

5. We will  not overfill the holding pond since fish when stressed tend to jump and you do not want them jumping out of the pond

6. If the fish are to remain in this new home for a while then we will make sure about 50% of the water is replaced every day with fresh water ....

7. We will keep a close watch on the fish ... any signs of unusual behaviour then we will change a portion of water immediately and make sure air pump is working.

8. We also carry ammonia removers just in case any of your fish appear to be suffering extreme distress.

9. Refill the main pond and return the fish.
