Sick of Sinking & Squishing in Sludge? Follow Our Expert Tips to Reduce Lake Sludge & Pond Muck
Tip 1: Limit Debris from Entering Your Pond
Remove dead weeds and algae from your pond. Pick up leaves, grass clippings, and other debris from yard before it enters your pond.
Tip 2: Add Natural Bacteria
Introduce beneficial aerobic bacteria such as Airmax MuckAway. MuckAway contains a special blend of beneficial bacteria that sinks to the bottom where it digests organic debris (aka muck), improves water clarity, and eliminates noxious odors.
Tip 3: Aerate
Aeration saturates your pond with oxygen, the lifeblood of all ecosystems. Healthy oxygen levels will fuel the growth of aerobic, beneficial bacteria which will further reduce muck.

Koi, like most other fish, start out as teeny-tiny fingerlings and grow to their genetically determined adult size. But unlike many fish, koi will grow to fit their accommodations…
Which means they'll develop into super-sized beasts in the right environment.
In their first 3 to 4 years of life, when housed in an adequately sized pond, a koi will reach about 18 inches long. Throughout its lifetime, it can grow to reach up to 3 feet and more. That's some big fish!

Do I need to cut down the cattails before I spray them?
www.thepondguy.com
A: Slashing through cattails would certainly be cathartic, wouldn't it? Well, we don't recommend it – at least not yet.

Koi, like most other fish, start out as teeny-tiny fingerlings and grow to their genetically determined adult size. But unlike many fish, koi will grow to fit their accommodations…
Which means they'll develop into super-sized beasts in the right environment.
