Maintenance
projects range from large fishing lakes right down to the smallest patio water
features.
Pond water needs to be kept clean for aquatic life to survive. Clear water is not always an indication of purity (but nice to look
at).
MJ Aquascapes looks after your water, so the water will look after
your fish!
Pond Water can be an alien medium to most people. As many
millions of things can not be seen with the naked eye. It must
have the right chemistry to keep the fish in the best of health.
Green water & blanket weed problems
Green water or Blanket weed is a indication that all is not well. There
are many ways to look after the water in the pond. Filter systems are
one of the best ways to keep the water clear (they also help support a
greater number of fish). Growing the right water plants in the right
depth of water to remove nitrates to stop unwanted vegetation (ie
Blanket Weed).
Fish moving and re-homing.
MJ Aquascapes offers koi and other cold water fish services
(critical to maintain good fish health). Some examples: fish
transporting/moving, fish re-homing, fish health care and
treatments, fish health checks, impartial advice over the phone on
general fish keeping. Also husbandry for other aquatic wildlife i.e.
frogs, tadpoles and newts
Losing Water?
MJ Aquascapes offers a number of good pond repairs from resealing
ponds to complete renovations. MJ Aquascapes gives help and
recommendations on investigating the water loss problem quickly.
Water loss can also be from fountain spray, overflowing or blocked
waterfalls (caused by unwanted algae growth), evaporation (hot
weather and shallow water), and capillary action by plants (water is
taken up by plants, also if the water is in contact with the soil
and stonework can remove water very quickly). Water loss and leak
investigations are sometimes very easy to find by switching off all
pumps (not good in hot weather if fish and other aquatic life are
still in the pond. MJ Aquascapes can provide holding vats. MJ
Aquascapes have modernised a number of products including waterfall
rebuilding, pipe work repairs, filter box sealing and many other
services).
