- Spring clean-up: remove any dead foliage and debris from the pond and surrounding areas
- Water Testing: check water parameters. If the water has ammonia or Nitrite/ Phosphate issues remove any rotting organic matter and perform partial water changes.
- Clean and service pond equipment: clean pumps and filters, replace filter media and pads as needed and change the uv lamps.
- Watch out for Blanket weed: growth of blanket weed may start due to the rise in pond temperature and increase in daylight. Excess nutrients can also help blanket weed grow.
- Check Fish Health: watch for signs of illness as the water temp rises treat as soon as signs show.
- Feeding Fish: now the water temp is rising feed wheatgerm and slowly move over on to higher protein diets as the days get warmer.
- Plant for March: marsh marigold will bring striking golden flowers signalling the beginning of spring in the pond.
