About

A strong El Niño is approaching and record temperatures are already here. This summer will bring real pond challenges – but the right proactive measures now can save you stress, fish losses and expensive fixes later.

The physics don’t care whether your water body is 2,000 litres or 2 megalitres: as temperature rises, dissolved oxygen falls, algae accelerates and the nitrogen cycle strains. What changes is the consequence – a dead koi, a resident complaint, a closed lake, or a failed irrigation supply.

Understand why heat triggers algae blooms — and why most of what you read about algae misses the point
Learn how to keep dissolved oxygen stable in warm water
Read the early warning signs before a pond tips out of balance
See live demonstrations, and have your own water sample tested and discussed
