Secret water test strips set 6-in-1 (50pcs)
Water testing is the basis for maintaining a good pond; when we manage water quality, the pond will become stable. And you can enjoy the pond and its inhabitants more. To naturally combat algae growth and create an optimal environment for fish, water quality is paramount!
To know this, it is important to regularly measure the pond water and react to it if necessary.
Installing the pond liner
- Place the pond liner where it should go. Choose a strategic spot in the garden; 4-6 hours of sunlight per day is ideal, and consider potential debris from trees and plants next to the pond.
- Mark the shape of the pond with stakes.
- Dig out the shape within the stakes and remove roots and stones. A tip is to dig the hole 10cm deeper and wider. You can then later backfill under and around the pond with sand.
- The pond is leveled, which is easy to check with a straightedge. Place the straightedge across the pond and see if it is level. If all is correct, fill the pond 30% with water.
- Rinse the gravel first and then add it to the bottom of the pond and, if desired, to the depth zones.
- Now add the desired plants and place the Oase Filtral 1500 in the pond liner. It's now time to fill the pond liner completely.
Please note, a pond needs approximately 1 year to fully mature, so the pond must have experienced all seasons once to ripen sufficiently.
During this maturation period, it is important to perform pond maintenance correctly and to accurately measure your water values. For example, write them down weekly so you can see if they are improving or deteriorating.
