Water Clarity

Clear pond water can be achieved with proper plant balance. If the pond is in full sun, 50-70% of its surface must be covered with foliage such as floating heart, water hyacinth, water poppy, water lily, or lotu

Underwater grasses produce oxygen, helping to maintain D.O. Levels.  Grasses will improve water clarity by using nitrate.

Plant and Fish Care


Time to fertilize all water lilies and lotus once a month to keep them blooming continuously throughout the season.

Time to switch from spring fish food to summer fish food since water temperatures have risen above 70 degrees. At higher temperatures, fish metabolize at a faster rate, thus creating a need for more protein.
