Pond Supplies

Fishponds can add natural serenity to your space and can be a great way to include fish pets in your life. These outdoor oases come with specific care requirements, so it’s necessary to have the right pond supplies. From a good pond pump to an effective pond filter system, pond care solutions can help enhance the aquatic ecosystem you create. Especially if you plan to keep live fish in your pond, you need some essential equipment like a pond heater, pond lights and a pond cleaner made for environments with fish.

Decorative elements are important for the beauty of your pond, but you also want to maintain water quality and prevent algae. Just as aquarium keepers need pH treatments and aquarium water test kits, pond care requires solutions for water, too. Pond supplies like water conditioners can help protect your fish from exposure to chlorine and heavy metal toxicity. Pond water pumps circulate and aerate the water, while de-icers keep winter ponds from freezing over.

Creating and maintaining the well-being of your pond and its inhabitants can be a rewarding undertaking. The right pond supplies can make it even more so. Pond fish like Koi and goldfish can thrive in the right setting and quality fish food and add beauty to any pond scape.

FAQs About Fishponds

Pond supplies vary by pond size and type and, in some cases, by geographical location. Most ponds will require some type of pond cleaner, pond filter and pond water pump. To help keep your pond sparkling into the night, pond lights are a desirable feature. A pond heater or de-icer can be crucial in colder climates to allow pond gasses to escape frozen over surfaces.

Pond filters are typically submersible and use sponges or other materials to filter pollutants from pond water. There are also solutions like pond vacs that can help remove debris and buildup. Pond nets can be good for removing surface debris like fallen leaves.

TIf you want a moving water feature or to have fish in your pond, you will need a pond pump in most cases. Fountains and waterfalls both require a pump to keep water flowing through the mechanisms. Pumps and pond filters also help circulate and aerate pond water, which is necessary for maintaining a clean and conducive fish habitat.

A pond pump pushes water through a filter to catch fish waste, debris and algae. This can help keep the water quality high while oxygenating the pond to the proper levels for fish. Unsightly algae are likely to grow in ponds without pumps and filtration systems, especially ones that receive a lot of direct sunlight. While you can have a pond without a pond pump, it is highly recommended that you include one.

Choosing the right depth for your pond depends on a few factors, one of the most important being city laws and regulations. Check to ensure you’re following the right guidelines and have any necessary permits. Pond water depth is a more crucial decision when you add fish or plants. If you are creating a water feature like a fountain, choose a water depth capable of supporting the flow and function.

For a more natural and pleasing pond, vary the depth of different areas. Shallower areas can support plants, while the deeper portions provide good space for fish. A good pond depth for fish is typically around 3- to 4-feet. 2-feet may be adequate in some climates, but cooler temperatures need a deeper pond, which can be supported by a pond heater in the winter.
