You may not want to hear this — but it’s time to get off your duff and stop procrastinating. There is no better time than NOW to complete or start that pond project that you’ve been putting off. At this time of year pond waters are cooling, the weather’s not too hot and you stand a better chance at booking a more qualified pond builder. The cooler waters of autumn and winter hold dissolved oxygen better than warm water. This makes it less stressful to house koi and goldfish in smaller tanks while their home is being refurbished. Fish stop eating as much and as often, requiring less filtration, thus causing less load on temporary filters.
