We have been in the Water Garden business for over 15
years. What started off as a hobby has turned into a great
business for us. We enjoy helping people get their ponds
right and avoid making the mistakes we have made. Our
goal is for you to have a clean, healthy pond that you can
relax by and not have to work in all the time trying to keep
it clean. We listen to our customers trials and errors also
and learn from them. We get e-mails and phone calls from
across the country asking for advice. We do not try to
push certain products or certain ways of doing things, we
just tell you our opinion and try to save you money by
helping you do it right the first time. We have truly been
blessed to have met some wonderful people whether in
person, through email or by phone and a few of them
were nice enough to send some kind words back our way.
Thought we'd share them with you. Thanks everyone for
allowing us to have fun and help others.

Check out our top 10 Pond Problems |
| TOP 10 POND PROBLEMS There are always exceptions to the rule with Koi and Goldfish Ponds, but these are some of the main problems we see when we go out to look at other people's ponds and water gardens. We have listed these to help future pond builders not make these mistakes and to help current pond owners be able to correct any problems they might have for healthier and happier fish. 1. Green Water - Everyone should have clear water in the winter because of the cold weather. When the weather warms up and the algae starts to bloom, people can't see their fish unless they feed them. If your fish start to have a problem, it is usually to late to treat them because you could not see the problem for the green water. You can have clear water year round with a U.V. Light, guaranteed. You should want to see your fish year round even though they may not want to see you.......=) ( U.V. Light Link ) 2. U.V. Bulb Replacement - You can turn your U.V. bulb off in the winter to save the lamp and get a few more months out of it. The problem is most people just change the bulb and not the rubber o-rings that seal it and keep the water out. Once water gets in, it usually shorts out the bulb and power supply which can cost a lot to replace. The rubber gaskets for most U.V. lights are less than $25.00. ( U.V. Parts Link ) |
| 3. Too shallow - A shallow pond invites birds and other animals to feast on your fish. The fish do not have anywhere to try to hide and a Heron has a lot of patience. You can put a net over your pond, but that takes away from the natural beauty. Try to make your pond at least 3 feet deep and even have a deeper part if you can with steep sides. 4. Rocks in the bottom of your pond - Not sure why people do this. The algae grows over the top of the rocks, the fish waste and other stuff gets trapped down in the rocks and can't be filtered out. I asked a pond installer one time why he put rocks in the bottom of the pond and he said "The customer has to call us at least once a year to clean out their pond,....... job security". It is much better to put in a bottom drain. If you do not have a bottom drain now, you can easily install one without cutting your liner. A properly installed bottom drain and you will never have to clean out your pond again. (Other Pond Needs Link) 5. Everyone who installs their first pond wishes they had made it bigger. It only cost a little bit more to make your pond bigger the first time. It cost a lot more to start over with a bigger pond. For instance... a U.V. Light for an 1100 gallon pond is $207.57 and a U.V. Light for a 1600 gallon pond is $230.67, only $23.10 more. If you put in a 1100 gallon pond and want to upgrade to a bigger pond, your 1100 gallon U.V. light is now too small and you have to purchase a bigger U.V. light. 6. Pond Owners feed their fish way to much - We would love to sell you lots of fish food, but the more you feed your fish the more likely problems will develop. The more the fish eat the more waste they produce. The more wasted food just floating around the better chance for disease. The fish food should be gone in less than 5 minutes. If there is still food floating after 5 minutes, cut back on the amount. 7. Dead spots in their pond. You should try to keep all the water in your pond moving a little bit. If you have a section of your pond where the water is just sitting there, it is not being filtered. Sometimes a plant will help, but it is better to add another pump or figure out another way to get the water moving so it can be filtered. 8. Deep Pond with just a skimmer - This has shown up a lot. Fish die because they are swimming near the bottom and most of the water is being filtered at the top with the skimmer. There really is nothing pulling the water off of the bottom to be filtered. Adding a bottom drain or solids handling pump will help. 9. Buying fish from everywhere - We have to confess that our oldest and largest fish came from Walmart 15 years ago. It is just that every time you buy a new fish from somewhere else, you are taking a huge chance of exposing your other fish to new diseases. It is kind of like sending your child off to day care for the first time and exposing him or her to the other kids. If you get a new fish, try to have a quarantine tank set up. I know of one guy who bought a cute little 3 inch Koi from a pet store and every fish in his pond died except the cute little Koi. 10. Just one pump - It never fails that when you go out of town your pump quits working and your fish have no oxygen. We highly recommend two pumps. If one pump goes out, the other will provide oxygen until you can get it replaced. We have one pump going to our filter and the other running through our U.V. Light at the other end of the pond. This also helps keep the water circulating better. We put this together hopefully to help pond owners and their fish be happy. As we said in the beginning, there are exceptions, these are just our thoughts. |
