Pond Tips

Once your water temperature reaches 50 degrees or below you should begin to feed your fish wheat germ food and remember to stop feeding your fish when your water temperature reaches 40 degrees.

If you have fish in your pond you should add a pond deicer. The pond deicer will keep an opening in the ice which allows for oxygen exchange and also allows harmful gasses to be released.
