Creating a thriving koi pond takes more than just adding water and fish; it’s about building a healthy, balanced ecosystem that supports aquatic life, keeps the water clear, and enhances the beauty of your outdoor space.

Whether you’re just starting out or have years of pondkeeping experience, having the right tools and products on hand can make maintenance easier and more effective. From daily care to long-term health, here are some of the top products we recommend to keep your koi pond in excellent condition.

High-Quality Koi Food

Feeding your koi properly is the foundation of their health, growth, and colour vibrancy. Koi need a balanced diet with the right mix of proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, and that’s exactly what our Pond Pro Premium Floating Koi Food provides.

Our koi food is available in 3 mm or 5 mm pellets, suitable for different fish sizes and feeding preferences. You can purchase it in 1 kg, 2.5 kg, 5 kg, or 10 kg containers, making it easy to find the right quantity for your pond size.

Feeding Guidelines:

• Feed 1-2% of your koi’s body weight per day.
• Divide the feedings between morning and evening to promote steady digestion and reduce waste buildup.
• Koi should be able to consume the food within 10 minutes. If food remains after this time, reduce the amount to avoid excess waste and potential water quality issues.

Feeding koi properly helps maintain good water quality, supports immune health, and encourages vibrant colouration, especially during their active growing season.

Aeration Systems

Proper aeration is one of the most critical and often overlooked aspects of maintaining a healthy koi pond. Koi, like all fish, need oxygen-rich water. Oxygen also supports beneficial bacteria that break down organic waste and help keep water conditions stable.

We offer a range of Can-Air Koi Pond Aeration Systems, designed by our in-house biologists specifically for koi pond environments.

For Small & Shallow Ponds (up to 5'-7’ deep):

Our standard Can-Air Koi Pond Aeration Systems work perfectly in small or shallow ponds. These systems maintain optimal oxygen levels and gently circulate water, reducing stagnant zones where algae and muck can build up.

For Deeper Ponds (8'-9’ deep):

If your koi pond is a bit deeper, we recommend upgrading to a Can-Air Koi Pond Aeration System with HiBlow Upgrade Kits. These enhanced kits include more powerful air pumps capable of pushing air through deeper zones, ensuring even oxygen distribution throughout the pond.

These systems help:

• Improve water circulation.
• Enhance biological filtration.
• Reduce muck buildup.
• Prevent algae blooms and fish stress.

We offer sizing charts and setup guides on our website to help you choose the right aeration system based on your pond’s depth and surface area. For ponds larger than 4,320 sq ft, we recommend the Can-Air SS/MEGA Diffused Aeration Systems for high-performance oxygenation.

Water Quality

Clean, balanced water is crucial for the long-term health of your koi and the appearance of your pond. However, water quality can fluctuate due to factors like weather, fish load, and organic debris — which is why regular maintenance is essential.

Our Pond Pro Small Pond Maintenance Kits make this easy. These all-in-one kits are tailored for ponds of various sizes: 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 50,000 gallons. All components are also available individually in larger quantities for bigger ponds or ongoing use.

Each Kit Includes:

• Green Pond Clarifier (1,000 & 5,000 gal kits) or ProClear (10,000 & 50,000 gal kits): Controls green water and suspended algae.
• Muck Pellets: Sink to the bottom and biologically digest organic sludge.
• NaturalClear Pond: Helps maintain overall water clarity/quality.
•  QuikClear: Quickly clears up cloudy water caused by rain, debris, or algae die-off.
• Slime Away: (Not included in the 50,000 gal kit) Helps reduce biofilm and string algae buildup.
• Pond Pro Blue Dye (Not included in the 1,000 gal kit): Adds a professional blue tint to your pond, reducing sunlight penetration and algae growth.

Each kit also includes detailed instructions and a product schedule, guiding you on when and how to use each treatment for the best results.

UV Sterilizers and Filtration Systems

Keeping your koi pond clean isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s essential for the health of your fish. Clear water helps prevent disease, supports oxygen levels, and allows your koi to thrive. A good filtration and UV sterilization system makes all the difference by removing debris, harmful bacteria, and algae before they become a problem.

For clean, clear water with minimal effort, the Jebao CBF Bio-Pressure Filter and Aquascape UltraKlean systems are excellent all-in-one solutions. Both combine mechanical, biological, and UV filtration with user-friendly backflush cleaning, ideal for ponds up to 4,000 gallons. The UltraKlean stands out with its sponge-free design and powerful UV clarifier, while the Jebao is perfect for medium-sized setups needing simple maintenance.

For those needing standalone UV sterilizers, we offer various models and sizes. The Jebao STU Stainless steel Sterlizers,  Aqua UV Classic, and  Advantage 2000 models are top choices. They’re effective against algae, bacteria, and pathogens, with options for ponds as small as 70 gallons to over 4,000. It is crucial to make sure that UV sterlizers are sized appropriately for the volume of water that needs to be treated. A general rule of thumb is that 57W is required for 3000 US gallons of water. For more rigorous applications such as aquaculture, more may be needed, and our experts can help! 

For large or heavily stocked koi ponds, the Aqua UV Ultima II Filter offers professional-grade performance with high-flow capability and self-cleaning media—perfect for keeping big systems healthy and crystal clear.

Monitor Water Parameters

Alongside regular treatments, it's a great idea to use a pond test kit to check parameters like pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels. Stable water chemistry prevents stress and disease in your koi and helps all your pond treatments work more effectively.

We carry Digital Phosphate Testers, Phosphate Photometers, Dissolved Oxygen Meters, and pH Pens. We also have all the necessary reagents and calibration tools for each of these products.

Summary

With the right products, maintaining a koi pond doesn't have to be overwhelming. Feeding your koi a nutritious diet, ensuring proper aeration and filtration, and using effective water treatment solutions will go a long way toward creating a clear, healthy, and vibrant pond.
