Aerate, don't suffocate!
Posted on 12:37am Sunday 17th August 2008
Aeration is a must in fish ponds, especially throughout the summer season. Warm water holds less oxygen than cooler water and because our pond fish need oxygen to survive, we must provide them with plenty of oxygen during hot weather (what hot weather?).

How can I get rid of green algae from my pond
Posted on 2:29pm Friday 6th June 2008
A UVC (Ultra violet clarifier) will give you the best results. Your pond water is passed through the UVC and is receives a dose of ultra violet light. The UV light doesn't actually kill the algae, but what it does do is it makes the minute algae particles floculate (stick together) creating larger particles that your filter is able to remove, and therefore creating clear water. In heavily planted ponds you don't tend to get green water, as the plants use up the nutrients that green algae need to thrive. Please don't hesitate to pay us a visit if you require a UVC and we will calculate your pond volume and advise on which unit you will need for your pond.
