There are a few things that need to be done with a garden pond if you want it to be a clean, attractive feature in your garden and also a place for nature to call home. For me, there has to be a bit of give and take with a nature pond as I don't want a soupy green mess in my garden but also want my animal friends to be happy.
I tried to cover as much general knowledge of pond maintenance from pump and filter cleaning to treatments, draining the pond and more. Let me know what other informational videos you would like to see on ponds.
Follow along to see more videos about ponds and aquariums.
All my aquariums and ponds run on @NTLabsOfficialSite products, go check out their channel for all sorts of awesome fishy content.
