Pond Liners and Forms Filters, Pumps and Fittings Building and Maintaining Ponds Planning your Pond
First, consider your main reason for building a pond. Is it to hear the sound of a waterfall or fountain, to raise koi, or to add an elegant landscape feature? The purpose of your water garden will influence every planning decision, from where to site the pond on your property, its size, its pump and filtration needs, to what life to add to it. Keep in mind that you might want to expand your pond, or add a waterfall, stream, or fish, later on. Russell's expert Water Gardening staff can help you plan your pond with your goals in mind. Visit Pondsense.com, our partner, for great information about building water gardens, and for images of our pond plants. Water Treatments Russell's offers a variety of treatments for your pond.

Fish Health The most important factor in keeping your fish healthy is water quality. High ammonia or nitrate levels, improper pH, or high levels of organic pollution put fish under stress and make them susceptible to diseases that are always present but usually not a problem. Russell's has the test kits and water treatments you need to provide stable water quality for your fish, as well as books and information to teach you more about fish and pond health.
