To figure this out you need to know the wattage of your pump. This info can be found on the box, or sometimes on the pump itself. Then you use the following formula:
Example: a 120 watt pump running for 12 hours a day in Indiana will have a daily operational cost of:
120 x 12 / 1,000 x .12 = .17 dollars per day OR 5.18 dollars per month
Watts times hours of use divided by 1,000 multiplied by your local kWH rate ( for Indiana that’s usually 12 cents or .12 dollars per kWH hour)
It starts in the autumn when the leaves start to fall. We suggest placing a net over your pond to prevent leaves from falling in the water in the first place. Depending on the placement of your pump, it may be a good idea to remove the pump and store it in a garage over winter, specifically in a bucket full of water. This will prevent the pump from freezing solid. Finally, we strongly suggest having either an aerator or surface heater to keep ice from forming over the entire surface of the pond.
We start by placing the fish bag into the water on the edge of the pond. We immediately open the bag and pour some pond water into the bag, and let it sit for about twenty minutes. When we come back, we’ll add even more pond water to the bag and let it sit for another ten minutes. After that, we compare the water temperature in the bag to the temperature of the pond water. You can do this by placing your hand in the bag and then the pond. If the temperature feels close, we release the fish into the pond. Don’t be worried if you don’t see them for a while. They need time to get acclimated to their new surroundings.

It is best to stop feeding your fish when the water falls below 55 degrees. We stop feeding fish at that temperature because their metabolism slows down and they cannot digest the food before it rots in their digestive tract. Conversely, you can start feeding your fish when the water is consistently above 55 degrees.

There are two things to consider when answering this question: predators and winter. To keep fish safe from most predators, a depth of 18 inches will suffice. In the Midwest, specifically Indiana, to keep fish in a pond over winter we suggest making it minimally 24 to 36 inches deep. This will prevent the fish from freezing solid (which they cannot survive).

Feeding fish is for our enjoyment, not because fish need it. When fish are in an outside pond they can usually get enough nutrients from bugs and algae. If you want to feed your fish, give them as much food as they can eat in 5 minutes. If you really enjoy feeding the fish, you can give them a few smaller meals throughout the day as apposed to one large feeding.

Salt is a good generalized treatment, especially if you cannot pinpoint a problem. It is good at resolving mild fungal and bacterial issues. We recommend that you start a salt treatment as soon as you notice something off with your fish. Waiting to treat a problem will decrease the likelihood of success.
The first thing we ask people to do is to fill up their water feature to a normal level and then turn it off. Take note of the water level, then let it sit for 24 hours and check to see if the water level has gone down. This helps us identify if the potential leak is in the pond section or the waterfall section. After you have done this, please reach out to us via phone (317-996-3106), email (info@aquaticdesign.net), or via the contact / service page.

The services we provide will vary by type of water feature. For a standard pond we:
Install and or remove leaf netting
Drain the water feature with equipment we bring
Net fish and place in aerated tubs that we provide
Remove as much sediment and string algae as possible
Vacuum leaves and sludge from the bottom of the water feature
Check and clean all pumps, filters, skimmer boxes, and lighting
We can do nearly anything your water feature needs to look its best.
We can also do the following upon request-- there may be an additional charge for supplies or treatments
Fertilize all aquatic plants
Treat for algae problems
Help diagnose fish for illness or disease (we are not responsible for any fish death)
We also inspect equipment for wear and tear and suggest corrective actions. However, repairs and extra services are not a part of our maintenance contract and are billed separately.

Each pond is unique, therefore it is difficult to estimate the time required. Most ponds require two people, and a 1,000 gallon pond would take those two people around 3 hours to remove the fish, drain, clean the pond and equipment, refill the pond, and restore the fish. We would love to talk to you about your specific pond. You can stop by our shop or give us a call at 317-996-3106.
