Taking the right steps in spring sets the course for healthy fish and for algae prevention.

Geen grap: De meeste vijverbezitters leggen nu al de basis voor een algenprobleem in de lente/ zomer! Met het toenemende aantal uren zon barsten de algenproblemen los. Oorzaak hiervoor is echter ALTIJD een overschot aan voedingsstoffen en NOOIT het licht.

Looking out of the window this year, the popular summer season is presenting itself from another side. In this post, we would like to focus on the current situation, paying particular attention to the spring and autumn influences, which also play their part.

Algae need phosphates to grow. The phosphates come from fish food, dead pond plants and dead algae.

The care of your garden pond depends on the season. In spring you have other jobs than in autumn. But what needs doing in summer?

You may well have asked yourself this year why algae suddenly appear in spring even though you have barely fed your fish yet. It was still cold and the sun had only just begun to shine a little stronger. The reason for it is last year’s “waste” still lying on the bottom of the pond.

If a brown coating covers the substrate of your aquarium and looks unattractive, let’s hope it is diatoms! The alternative would be smear algae - and they are not as easy to get rid of as diatoms.

Here you’ll find everything you’ll need to know to keep your fish healthy during the winter and to give them a good start into the next season.

If you take proper action now, by reducing the nutrient input and the existing nutrient sources, you can prevent algae problems in the coming year.

Maybe you’ve felt like this: nothing works, the pond looks disastrous and you just don’t know what to do.

Die Sonne knallt auf den Teich und Sie füllen täglich Wasser nach? An manchen Tagen fragt man sich, „ist das wirklich normal und nur die Verdunstung“?

Is your pond clear – with no algae in sight? Perhaps you were just lucky or you have completed an algae treatment successfully. In either case there’s one thing you don’t need: algae!

Cat and dog owners know this well. A treat here, a toy there and small gifts for the pets. But what’s the best and safest way to pamper your fish with a few extras?

A lot of pond owners neglect their regular maintenance and only react when problems occur and it’s often too late.

The car roofs are yellow, the windows dusty and on the water surface floats a yellow-green film of flower pollen and insects. Take immediate action, using preventive or immediate measures to make sure it won’t lead to problems.

A few algae in the pond do not pose a problem and even form a component of a healthy pond. But once the water turns green or „blanket weed“ algae become rampant, you then have a problem which needs fixing. Effective and longterm algae control consists of three steps.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter. For each season there is a different maintenance to follow and various aspects to consider.

It can affect every pond owner. But if you are careful you can avert problems before they occur. In the following article we would like to introduce you to the different types of algae you may meet in the garden pond:

There has been plenty of heavy rainfall in Germany in the last few days. The ponds are full to the brim and the garden - and more - is under water.

We ontvangen steeds meer vragen van vijverbezitters die hulp nodig hebben met betrekking tot algenkussens op het vijverwateroppervlak.

Overal bloeien de bloemen en de bloesems en mensen met allergieën weten het al: Overal is stuifmeel! Zowel op auto's als bospaden vinden we de gele poeder. Het stuifmeel en de kleine bladeren vinden in groten getale de weg naar onze vijvers.

Veel vijverbezitters zijn zich er niet van bewust - om deze reden reageren ze pas op algen wanneer het al te laat is. Dit veroorzaakt niet alleen ergernis, maar maakt de weg terug naar helder water tevens lastiger.

Pond owners need to start preparing their ponds in autumn for the coming winter. Only by doing this can you be sure that your pond will continue to bring you pleasure next year and that your fish will be healthy.

It’s getting cold slowly and the pond season is coming to its end. The leaves of the water lilies are dying and the sunshine hours are getting shorter. But in the pond there is still a lot happening. We will show you how to make your pond fit for the winter.

It happens every year. The algae arrive. What can you do to prevent it? For a healthy basis the pond needs to be filled with sufficient plant mass. This applies to ALL ponds.

Everyone knows this scenario. Just last week the pond was alright, then suddenly the algae came overnight. Why does this happen? It’s really very simple. You only have to keep in mind 2 factors.
