Pond Aeration

Aeration in a pond, do you need it, if you have fish in it then the answer is YES you do need it especially if there are a lot of pond plants in the pond, the highest oxygen loss in a pond is at night and this is taken by the plants. So having aeration during the night is crutual for the wellbeing of your fish.

A trickle filter is a simple unit or units to filter your pond, but there is much to clean and some people don't want the mass and smell whilst doing this. Many people go for a pressurised filtration system, which there are many from squeezing sponges to turning handles. the best thing about a pressurised filter is that it can be part buried and so it is not as visible. All filter do require complete cleaning out once a year, best time is the end of the season..... More details are available on request.
By using plants for filtration do absorb nitrates and phosphates that would otherwise encourage and contribute to algae growth. Generally the more plants you have in a pond, the less algae-related maintenance required. By constructing a bog area or a wetland area to your pond will help the performance of your pond in many ways, but remember that plants grow and pond plants have all the food they require to multiply very fast, so keeping them pruned and tidy on a regular basis is best. once they take over then you have your work cut out in sorting them out.....
