Regularly clean your pond and remove any debris. Having the correct number of fish, appropriate plant coverage, and not overfeeding the fish balance the ecosystem.

Consider using additional water treatments that help clarify the water and reduce organic load. For large or heavily sludged ponds, it might be worth getting professional help; we recommend a product called "Bio Lake".

Install pond netting in the autumn, even if you have a pond skimmer, to catch leaves and debris before they enter the water to prevent future sludge buildup. Lastly, consistently monitor your pond to spot and address sludge issues before they become too severe.
