Pond Tips
- Keep Fertilizer away from ponds. Fertilizer in Florida ponds grows algae. If you don't want a pond with green water or algal mats floating on top, keep the fertilizer away from the pond. Remember it will rain and that rain water will pick up fertilizer as it flows into your pond so use slow release fertilizer and keep it as far as possible from the pond.
- Too much algae can cause a fish kill, especially in the summer months. Algae contributes oxygen to the pond in the daytime through photosynthesis, but uses oxygen in the night time during respiration. If there are a few cloudy days in a row all that algae is using oxygen and not replenishing it. The fish then run out of oxygen in the night time hours and die.
