Are you more interested in ponds composed of living creatures and plant life? Do you find the symbiotic relationship of fish, amphibians, reptiles, crustaceans, and aquatic plants more to your liking? Is a living environment or ecosystem more appealing to you? If this is the case, then a living garden pond is for you.
Replicated living ponds are man-made adaptations of natural ponds. Since Mother Nature has kept her life-giving secrets well kept, we must do what we can to closely replicate her pond ecosystems. However, to come close to achieving this, natural design, the selection of plant life, the selection of animals, selection of food for the animals, and most importantly, choosing the proper garden pond pumps must be put into careful consideration.
Basically, we cannot just throw in any kind of aquatic plant and animal, or irresponsibly select any kind of aquatic animal, and expect them to peacefully and symbiotically coexist. Some plants are harmful to some fish and other aquatic animals, and the creatures we select may have a predator-prey relationship in the wild. Full understanding and knowledge of all living aspects must be thoroughly considered, not unless the predator-prey relationship is desired.
Lastly, and most importantly, the appropriate garden pond pumps must be installed. Pumps, with the assistance of various filters, which eliminate algae and other harmful microorganisms, must be selected and put to use to keep the water recycled, clean, and crystal clear as possible. Another important feature of the pump is to amply keep the air in the water well ventilated or aerated in order for its waters to be life sustaining, constantly. By doing so, we replicate nature's give and take relationship, when it comes to the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, between plants and animals.
Nurturing and witnessing life, through a garden pond, is known to be a fulfilling and stress relieving activity. All of which will not be possible, without the use and endurance of the life giving garden pond pumps.
