Useful Pond Decoration & Maintenance Tips:

• If your pond has foam filters to trap dirt and fish waste going through the filter, always wash these out with water from the pond, so not to kill beneficial bacteria.
• Be sure to prune and cut back aquatic plants to prevent debris from entering your water garden pond.
• Invest in a fish feeding ring to keep all pond food in one place and stop it from going into the skimmer if one is needed.
• If your fish have not entirely eaten the food you placed in the pond within 5 minutes, could cause water quality issues, due to overfeeding.
• A good pond skimmer is essential to remove floating debris like leaves and uneaten food.
• A low hanging fixed net, placed over the ponds water surface is an effective means, to keeping out certain predators, and unsightly debris.
