大多数池塘和水景所有者都了解在池塘栖息地保持水质的重要性。
有时你的池塘水可能看起来很好，但你的鱼表现不同，这可能意味着你的池塘里可能有点不对劲。
其他时候，您的池塘水可能看起来绿色、浑浊或泥泞，表明存在问题。
保持池塘清洁和健康通常可以通过简单、定期的池塘维护来完成。
如何保持池塘水的清洁？
有了一点知识和理解，您将更好地解决您可能遇到的任何池塘水问题。首先，请查看我们的 7 个技巧，以帮助保持池塘水清洁。
1. 保持健康的鱼类种群
经常被忽视的池塘维护的很大一部分是拥有正确数量的鱼。池塘里的鱼太多会导致池塘水的不平衡，多余的鱼粪会破坏脆弱的生态系统。
作为一般规则，如果每 25 升水有超过 380 厘米的鱼，您的池塘可能人口过多。你的池塘里有太多鱼吗？
考虑为他们中的一些人找一个新家，或者扩大池塘以扩大规模。
如果您选择重新归巢路线，请记住，许多池塘零售商和承包商都会接受您的鱼。
2. 不要过度喂鱼
当你喂鱼超过它们能吃的量时，未吃的食物就会在池塘里腐烂。这会导致池塘不平衡，并可能导致水浑浊或浑浊。
如果过多的食物经常留在池塘中，可能会导致藻类生长，从而使您的池塘看起来又绿又粘。
注意不要每天喂鱼超过一次，不要超过它们在 2 到 3 分钟内可以吃的东西。
选择优质的鱼食——最好是漂浮的，而不是如果不吃就沉入池塘底部的食物。
这将使您在喂食时间结束后轻松舀起任何多余的食物。
3. 建立植物的适当平衡
在水景内和周围保持适当数量的植物有利于池塘的健康。
许多池塘植物有助于为水充氧，这对您的鱼类和整个生态系统来说是个好消息。
在季节高峰期，您应该有40
由于光合作用过程，池塘内和周围的植物过多会导致夜间缺氧。
晚上，植物吸收氧气并释放二氧化碳。
水中二氧化碳过多对你的鱼来说是个坏消息。
4. 选择合适的池塘泵
另一个重要的池塘维护技巧是确保您拥有适合您的水景的池塘泵。
您的池塘过滤器应每小时至少循环一次整个池塘的水量。
池塘过滤器堵塞对您的池塘来说是个坏消息，因此请确保您的泵的流量不受撇渣器或生物过滤器中的碎屑的限制。
如果您发现不应该有的地方有碎屑，请轻轻地将其清除。
您还应该注意不要将水泵得高于预期。
每个泵都有其流量限制。通过我们的在线泵选择指南，您可以轻松为您的池塘和瀑布选择正确尺寸的泵。
5. 在池塘有腐烂机会之前清理池塘中的碎屑
您的池塘撇油器将清除池塘表面的大部分碎屑，但您也可以使用池塘网从水面上撇去树叶和小木棍，以免它们有机会下降到底部腐烂。
腐烂的碎片，加上鱼类废物和剩余的鱼食，会导致池塘中的氨水平飙升。
尽量不要种植太多经常在池塘边缘落叶的树木。
有益的微生物，如池塘水景清洁，也有助于保持池塘水的健康和清洁，为您的鳍朋友。
Clean for Ponds 使用强大的异养细菌混合物，可消化由鱼类废物、腐烂的树叶、未食用的鱼食和其他碎片引起的有机废物和污泥。
如果您没有时间手动向池塘水添加处理，您可能需要考虑安装自动加药系统以电子方式分配产品。
在您的池塘中添加有益细菌和其他处理方法，以帮助分解碎屑并保持适当的氮循环。
6. 选择合适的池塘过滤器
就像您的池塘泵一样，您的池塘过滤器应该与您的水上花园的大小相匹配。
大多数池塘过滤器都是基于理想情况，如果超过这些情况，您的过滤器可能会变得不那么有效。
因此，最好始终加大过滤器的尺寸，使其可以处理超过池塘容量的过滤器。
这是基于您的池塘含有多少升水，因此在选择过滤器时请记住这一点。请记住按照说明清洁过滤器。
水族景观生态系统池塘中有两种类型的过滤器。机械过滤器和生物过滤器。
机械过滤器，也称为撇渣器，可去除池塘水中的树叶和小棍子等表面碎屑。
生物过滤器或生物瀑布过滤器的位置是在池塘中创建瀑布的起点。
该过滤器使用细菌分解池塘废物，将其转化为危害较小的化合物，可以被您的水生植物吸收为肥料。
7.在夏天的日子里保持池塘凉爽
当池塘水超过24ºC时，通常很难保持可接受的溶解氧水平，这对鱼的健康至关重要。
这就是为什么让池塘表面被水生植物遮蔽很重要的原因——以帮助保持池塘水凉爽。
在澳大利亚的夏天，您可能会注意到您的鱼在水中缺氧时挣扎。
如果你看到它们在池塘表面喘着粗气，很可能没有足够的氧气。
为了解决这个问题，添加一个曝气器，将更多的氧气带入特征，并在极端高温时帮助他们。
额外提示：控制氨
氨可能对您的鱼有害，应立即解决。
如果您看到您的鱼跳出水面，您的池塘可能正在经历氨峰值，这在添加藻类处理后可能发生。
您可以在当地的宠物和水族馆商店购买氨测试套件，如果您发现水平很高，只需用氨中和剂处理池塘水即可。
您可以做许多不同的事情来保持池塘水的清澈和健康。
我们希望您喜欢阅读这 7 个提示，并了解一些对您自己的池塘维护之旅有用的信息。

7 Tips to Maintain Clean Pond Water
Most pond and water feature owners understand the importance of maintaining water quality in a pond habitat. Sometimes your pond water may look fine, but your fish are acting differently, which could signify that something could be a little off in your pond. Other times, your pond water may look green, murky, or sludgy, indicating there’s an issue.
Keeping a pond clear and healthy can often be done through simple, regular pond maintenance.
How to keep your pond water clean?
With a little knowledge and understanding, you’ll become better equipped to solve whatever pond water issues you might have. To get started, take a look at our 7 tips to help maintain clean pond water.
1. Maintain a healthy fish population
A large part of pond maintenance that’s often overlooked is having the right number of fish. Having too many fish in your pond can cause an imbalance in the pond water, with excess fish waste disrupting the delicate ecosystem.
As a general rule, if you have more than 25cm of fish for every 380 litres of water, your pond is likely over-populated. Does your pond have too many fish? Consider finding some of them a new home, or expanding the pond to be larger. If you choose to go the re-homing route, keep in mind that many pond retailers and contractors will accept your fish.
2. Don’t over-feed your fish
When you feed fish more than they can eat, the uneaten food is left to decay in the pond. This causes an imbalance in the pond, and can lead to cloudy or murky water. If excess food is left in the pond too often, it can cause algae growth, which makes your pond look green and slimy.
Be careful not to feed your fish more than once per day, and no more than they can eat in 2 to 3 minutes. Choose a quality fish food – preferably one that floats as opposed to one that sinks to the bottom of the pond if left uneaten. This will allow you to easily scoop up any excess food after feeding time is finished.
3. Create a proper balance of plants
Maintaining the right number of plants in and around your water feature is beneficial to your pond’s health. Many pond plants help to oxygenate the water, which is great news for your fish and the general ecosystem. At season’s peak, you should have 40
4. Choose the right size pond pump
Another important pond maintenance tip is to make sure you have the right sized pond pump for your water feature. Your pond filter should be circulating the entire pond’s water volume a minimum of once every hour.
A clogged pond filter is bad news for your pond, so make sure your pump’s flow isn’t restricted by debris in the skimmer or biological filter. If you notice debris in places it shouldn’t be, gently remove it. You should also be careful not to pump water higher than it was intended. Every pump has its flow limitations. We’ve made it easy for you to choose the correct size pump for your pond and waterfall with our online pump selection guide.
5. Clean debris from pond before it has a chance to decay
Your pond skimmer will remove most of the debris from the surface of your pond, but you can also use a pond net to skim leaves and small sticks from the water’s surface, before they have a chance to descend to the bottom to decay. Decaying debris, combined with fish waste and leftover fish food, can cause ammonia levels to spike in your pond. Try not to plant too many trees that regularly drop leaves around the edge of your pond.
Beneficial microbes such as Aquascape Clean for Ponds also help to keep your pond water healthy and clean for your finned friends. Clean for Ponds uses a powerful blend of heterotrophic bacteria that digests organic waste and sludge caused by fish waste, decomposing leaves, uneaten fish food, and other debris.
If you don’t have the time to manually add treatments to your pond water, you might like to consider installing an Automatic Dosing System to electronically dispense the product. Add beneficial bacteria and other treatments to your pond to help with breaking down debris and maintaining a proper nitrogen cycle.
6. Choose a proper pond filter
Just like your pond pump, your pond filter should match the size of your water garden. Most pond filters are based on ideal circumstances, and if you exceed these, your filter can become less effective. As such, it’s good to always up-size your filter so that it can handle more than the capacity of your pond. This is based off ho many litres of water your pond contains, so keep this in mind when choosing your filter. Remember to clean your filter according to instructions.
There are two types of filters in an Aquascape ecosystem pond. A mechanical filter and a biological filter. The mechanical filter, also known as the skimmer, removes surface debris such as leaves and small sticks from your pond water. The biological filter, or BioFalls filter, is positioned to create the beginning of a waterfall in your pond. This filter uses bacteria to break down pond waste, converting it into less harmful compounds that can be absorbed as fertiliser by your aquatic plants.
7. Keep your pond cool during the dog days of summer
When pond water exceeds 24º C, it often has a difficult time retaining acceptable levels of dissolved oxygen, which is critical for the health of your fish. This is why it’s important to have the surface of your pond shaded by aquatic plants – to help keep the pond water cool.
In the Australian summer, you may notice your fish struggling with a lack of oxygen in the water. If you see them gasping for air at the pond’s surface, it’s likely there’s not enough oxygen present. To remedy this, add an aerator to bring more oxygen into the feature and help them during times of extreme heat.
Bonus tip: Keep ammonia in check
Ammonia can be harmful to your fish and should be addressed right away. If you see your fish jumping out of the water, your pond may be experiencing an ammonia spike which can happen after adding an algae treatment. You can purchase an ammonia test kit at your local pet and aquarium store and if you find the levels are high, simply treat your pond water with Ammonia Neutralizer.
There are many different things you can do to keep your po
