There are three specific times of the year when maintenance of pond should be carried out, including summer, fall and winter. Each specific time of year entails slightly different maintenance types. This article delves into the different forms of Ponds Charlotte NC maintenance.
Ammonia is present in pond environments from numerous sources. Pond fish like humans need to go to the toilet. Unfortunately, the toilet in their case is the pond in which they live. Ammonia is present in faeces and urine that they excrete into the pond water.
It's important to aerate the whole body of water, starting from the pond's bottom to the surface, since living creatures like turtles, fish, etc. Need this air to survive. Using a diffused pond aeration system also helps to provide air to the deep, stagnant areas within the pond or lake where unhealthy water conditions occur (and where your fish want to go for more consistent water temperatures).
You will also notice an increase in algae growth during the summer months; this can be down to the photosynthesis increasing growth within the algae. A good way to control this growth is to control how much sunlight the fishpond gets; pond lilies are a great way of controlling sunlight as the wide leaves sit on the surface keeping the water underneath reasonably cool.
A pond skimmer, sometimes referred to as a pond surface skimmer or pond skimmer filter, skims the surface of the fishpond, removing floating surface debris such as leaves, grass, twigs, pollen and other floating pond pollutants, before they sink to the fishpond floor, causing ammonia levels to increase and generally creating an unfit environment for aquatic pond life to live in.
A fountain aerator can be beautiful to look at and some come with optional light kits that can be attached to the floating fountain assembly. This makes the floating fountain aerator have a pretty night time and day time display. A variety of fountain nozzles can be used with a fountain aerator too, which offers different spray patterns.
Another thing to consider is the fact that when the water temperature drops dramatically the fish will slow down there metabolic rate and therefore require much less food, so make sure you cut down on the feeding slightly or else you will create a problem of excess food drifting to the bottom of the fishpond and turning into harmful nitrates.
A fixed pond skimmer is very similar in appearance and works in much the same way as a swimming pool skimmer. Pond water containing pond debris is sucked from the pond surface where any debris is trapped inside a filter basket. The suction is created by a pond pump, housed in the skimmer chamber. After successfully removing and surface debris the fishpond water is then pumped into the biological pond filter, where it is purified.
