Aquascape 78325 AquaGarden Pond and Waterfall Kit Container Water Garden, Measures 23. 5-inch in Diameter and 9 7/8-inch Tall, Brown

Product Information

To reverse the damage we've done and protect the future, we need the knowledge that comes from scientific discovery. Understanding and protecting life on our planet is the greatest scientific challenge of our age. And you can help. If there is a long cold spell in winter it is good to brush snow from the top of your pond to ensure enough sunlight reaches the plants. But if we don't look after nature, nature can't look after us. We must act on scientific evidence, we must act together, and we must act now.

The container measures 23.5" in diameter and 9 7/8" tall, small enough to fit in any space, but large enough to make an impact. The cord is 13' Long The kit includes all media and substrate needed, including expanded clay grow/biolgogical media and decorative gravel for both the waterfall and pond. The integrated filter provides an ideal location for plants while acting as a biological filter to keep the water clean and clear. A tranquil waterfall provides soothing sounds and enjoyment. The LED waterfall light can be used to illuminate the water as it cascades into the pond. We are a charity and we rely on your support. No matter the size, every gift to the Museum is critical to our 300 scientists' work in understanding and protecting the natural world.What if your pond turns green? Excessive growth of algae such as blanket weed can be an issue for ponds, particularly ones topped up with tap water or where the sediment is regularly disturbed.

A durable injection-molded construction features a rippled, textured finish and is lightweight and durable for a long-lasting, easy-to install design. If desired, a few small fish and a wide variety of plants can be added to create your very own one-of-a-kind aquatic paradise. The lower pond area holds 5 to 7 gallons of water and is a great place for floating plants, a small water lily, or even a few small fish to create a recirculating aquaponics system. Whether you have created a mini pond in a pot or dug out a larger pond, the tasks you will need to complete to maintain your pond are the same.Despite the mounting pressures, hope is not lost. Museum scientists are working hard to understand and fight against the threats facing British wildlife. The Aquascape AquaGarden Mini Pond Kit makes it simple and easy to add the sights and sounds of a water garden to any location. Blanket weed can stop light from reaching oxygenating plants, causing them to die and reducing pond oxygen levels as a result. You can add a floating ball or gently break the ice on your pond if you want visiting birds and mammals to use it as a drinking source, but you don't need to break the ice to keep the plants and animals in the pond alive. The pond plants will continue to photosynthesise under the ice - producing the oxygen that animals need - as long as they continue to get light.

The durable construction features a rippled, textured finish and is lightweight and long-lasting as well as easy-to install! The kit includes all media and substrate needed, including expanded clay grow/biological media and decorative gravel for both the waterfall and pond. We've also saved you time and fuss by selling our Pond in a Pot kits with a choice of aquatic plant collections which have been specially chosen to grow well together with complimentary colours and shapes. Following close collaboration with the Anglo Aquatic team, we are proud to present several plant collections that work particularly well with the Pond in a Pot range and are exclusive to Primrose. Anglo Aquatic's extensive knowledge of pond plants has helped us to ensure that we only use the best for our Pond in a Pot collections. The plants in your pond kit have been chosen especially for their remarkably high quality - some of them even winning the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit. This means that your plants are very reliable, with stable colours and forms, and have a higher than normal resistance to pests and diseases. Autumn is the main time for pond maintenance, after amphibians have left the pond but before pond life has gone completely dormant.

When you first create your pond, you might find mosquito larvae are one of the first animals to arrive. Don't worry about this. Mosquito larvae are near the bottom of a pond food chain and soon more animals will arrive and eat the larvae and create more of a balance. Adult mosquitoes are an excellent food source for pipistrelle bats. British wildlife is under threat. The animals and plants that make our island unique are facing a fight to survive. Hedgehog habitats are disappearing, porpoises are choking on plastic and ancient woodlands are being paved over. Every year, more people are reading our articles to learn about the challenges facing the natural world. Our future depends on nature, but we are not doing enough to protect our life support system. The integrated plant and waterfall filter provides an ideal location for a variety of plants while acting as a biological filter to keep the water clean and clear. A tranquil waterfall provides soothing sounds and enjoyment, and the LED waterfall light can be used to illuminate the water as it cascades into the pond. For many, the Museum is a place that inspires learning, gives purpose and provides hope. People tell us they 'still get shivers walking through the front door', and thank us for inspiring the next generation of scientists.

The main task is reducing plants - ideally you want about 60% open water to allow light to reach submerged plants and to allow space for growth over spring and summer. But different species like different amounts of vegetation so don't worry too much about exact proportions.

The lower pond area holds 5 to 7 gallons of water and is a great place for floating plants, a small water lily, or even a few small fish to create a recirculating aquaponics system. You might also need to remove some sediment or fallen leaves from the bottom of your pond if it is in danger of becoming a bog rather than a pond (unless you would like a bog garden - they are great habitats too). Never remove all the sediment - this is where a lot of pond creatures live, especially in the winter months.
