Lucky are those aquarists who got the space to dig a pond in their property for keeping fish instead of giving them an artificial aquarium life. If you count yourself among those fortunate people then you should be aware of the necessity of Pond cleaning for maintaining and uplifting the environment of the water body for the better sustenance of the marine animals.
Here are the four things you should do when pond cleaning—
Call an expert
Depending on a pond cleaning expert is always viable and a better choice than DIY- unless you are experienced in doing it. Contact a reputed aquarium shop nearby that can send you an expert according to the date and time discussed. They come fully equipped including some accessories such as water pumps or an aquarium light if their clients need anyhow.
DIY with proper cleaning gears
If you choose to do DIY pond cleaning, then make sure you have the required cleaning gears which include different-sized brushes, twitches, scissors, and so on for removing the unwanted weeds and hyacinths.Also, clean the air pump for more oxygen creation in the water.
Clean the water pumps & replace filters
Similar to cleaning the water pump for aquarium, you have to do it for the small ponds to balance the environment for your marine animals. Also, replace the filters.
Do it safely without causing any harm to your fish
Finally, use harmless chemicals for water conditioning. Maintain ample safety so as not causing any harm to the fish while cleaning the pond.
