Site selection: the perfect place in the sun means sun, preferably in the morning and shade in the afternoon. Thus, the pond is too hot in the summer months to avoid. It will also help to keep algae out of control.
Hardcover or soft? In my experience, flexible coating that works best. Are hardliners in advance, and not only get on plane. If you install the pre-formed liner, many of them on the shelves of plants and different levels. Dig a hole larger than the entire surface of the lagoon and the entire depth. That makes a lot of digging. Once you have dug and the bottom layer, set the liner and start filling. Try more than one person is full of you again, so that the lid does not move. Try to collect, how it progresses. Put some water in the coating will keep it in position during growth. If you are in the country with a cold in the winter of life, be careful: the rigid line can leave the field during the winter months.
Soft lining gives you more flexibility. From concept, design, and the edges are easier to conceal.
During the excavation for the installation of soft lines, splashes of color to the shape of the pond to dig into the ground and begin. This should be as horizontal cover, but very soft and forgiving comply with any slight bump or Divet. To install the shelf in the pond, you can dig through the wall of the tank or use of materials such as concrete blocks, to build shelves. Tissue lining the pond is extremely important. This coating protects the roots and sharp corners. To create in the use of concrete blocks or other materials, borders or edges of shelves and a laptop, so they do not rust on the same line. During the installation of a soft and smooth the whole story (you will need to enter the pond) and to function as they cover. Once again, the addition of water in the jacket pressure and helps to smooth out wrinkles on. If you are a waterfall, run a Kush and under stones in the pond. Will make sure the pond is superimposed on a little better. This reduces the amount of water loss.
With a hard line or soft on the edges with an edge of rock cover. This is for decorative purposes, if you take a tough stance, but if you're the soft pads on the edge of the cliff using a necessity. This cement the liner in place and keep the edge of the movement or displacement. The use of natural stone, slate, stone or blue like a natural look or a more modern look, cutting reinforced concrete walls for a clean, covered.
Filtration Systems: There are two types of biological filters. In ground and above. The water systems are good for small ponds. The pump and filter system sits on the bottom of the pond. These systems are relatively inexpensive, the problem is that when the filter cleaning (regularly at least twice per week) needs to be wet.
Above-ground systems are more expensive, but after the installation easier to maintain and good for the lakes and ponds with waterfalls. These pumps are usually stronger than the type of submersible pumps and can push more water. Filters can be easily changed and cleaned.
When cleaning the filter system, whether on land or in the pond to clean the entire filter once. In general, there are several cotton pad or camera media. Net environment for a while. You want to keep the supply of beneficial bacteria in the filter system. Beneficial bacteria help our things, such as chlorine and waste filters. Also keep algae at bay.
After the fish, if you want to fish in the pond should be 24 "- 30" deep at the center, allowing the fish cold winter and fish in the biological filter, was also .. the need. Start with a small fish, low cost. Fish that grow to the size of the lagoon, and are obliged to lose a little now and then. If you are an experienced gardener to water, I would not recommend spending $ 80.00 on special Koi. Koi are beautiful, but they are dirty fish. They produce more waste than normal fish.
The care of the fish: Before you fish in the pond water to neutralize the chlorine. Chlorine hate fish! I recommend that the pond in order to satisfy a few weeks and let the filter system of beneficial bacteria, a bit before you grow the fish. When you add the fish, leave it to the water temperature the fish for at least an hour before the slicing used bag and pour into the pond. Thus, the fish are slowly changing the temperature and reduce the risk of electric shock. The dose of stress in the layer of water will help reduce stress. These include fish and reduce stress. Another problem is deadly to fish high in nitrates. Read something on the chemical composition of water in the ponds is a long way.
Aquatic plants are also ideal for the pond. They provide shade and food source for fish. Some floating plants like water lettuce, water hyacinth, water lilies and Anacharis. There are marsh plants. They are drawn in special pots and sit on the shelves of the lagoon, as the iris, cannas and cat tails. There are dozens of different types of pond plants.This add aesthetic beauty of the lake. There is also a habitat for frogs and turtles.
I know this sounds like hard work, but really it's just a bunch of information. If you installed a pond and balanced, it will be a pleasure. Place a bench near the lake, so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the tranquility of a pond in your own backyard.
There are many kits ready to install the pond available, creating a pond quickly and easily as you can imagine. Here you will find a variety of sizes to meet your needs in garden centers.
