Summer Pond Care

    • Remember to continue fertilizing your plants as detailed under “Spring”
    • Remove dead foliage from the pond. The leaves of plants will yellow and brown as they age. When this happens, it is best to cut them off. This reduces debris buildup in the pond, provides more room for new growth, and improves the appearance of the pond.
    • Feed your fish well. Do not over-feed. Feed no more than the fish will eat in 5 minutes. Feed 1-3 times per day.
    • Continue cleaning filter as needed, making sure not to over-clean.
    • Maximize your aeration. Warm water holds less oxygen, yet the fish use more oxygen in warm water. Make sure you have plenty of aeration running 24/7. Aeration can be supplemented by using an air pump or additional pump.
    • Continue use of bacterial products like Microbe Lift PL.
    • Enjoy! This is the time to sit back and enjoy the work you have put into your water garden
