Take Back Your Shoreline in 3 Easy Steps:
Step 1) Cut It: Use an aquatic weed cutter, such as the Weed Razer, to cut vegetation off quickly at the roots.
Step 2) Rake It: Vegetation, if not removed, will decompose and lead to muck accumulation at the bottom of your pond. Remove unwanted vegetation with a weed raking tool, such as the Weed Raker or Razer Rake.
Step 3) Prevent It: Use an underwater mower, such as the Muck Razer, to agitate the muck layer and to root out aquatic plants and small debris. This agitation infuses the bottom layer with oxygen, improving conditions so that natural bacteria and enzymes can easily break down organic matter, accelerating decomposition.
When combined, these steps will lead to a weed-free shoreline and a muck-free beach, ready to be enjoyed by friends and family.

“Why do I keep getting algae blooms?” It could be too many fish.
The primary cause of algae in fish ponds is the fish themselves. Overcrowding can happen as your fish grow and reproduce, and your filtration system may not be large enough to handle the waste being produced.
A simple rule of thumb is to allow 1-2 koi or 2-3 goldfish per 200 gallons of water.
If your water garden is brimming with fish, consider relocating some or enlarging your filtration system.
