SPRING has sprung and the pond fish are starting to come to the surface to say hello as the water warms up, but it is important to ensure that pond systems are running effectively as ponds transition from winter to spring.

Bow Garden & Aquatic Centre has all the equipment and advice you need to help you ensure your pond runs smoothly.

A full range of pond fish ranging from quality Japanese and Classis Koi right through to everyone’s favourite pond fish such as Goldfish, Shubunkins, Sarasa Comets, Lemon Goldfish and even Sturgeon!

But it is not just the fish that make a pond it is also the plants and with one of the biggest selections of pond and bog plants in the South West you will find something to suit your pond at the Centre.

Pond equipment is well covered and the Centre offers a full range from industry leading suppliers of pumps and filtration systems to suit all pond types from a small ornamental pond right up to large lakes at fantastic prices.

There is also a full range of spares for your equipment such as UV bulbs, filter sponges and pond pipework and fittings.

Spring is the perfect time to change your UV bulb and add a small boost to your pond as it wakes up, and the Centre sells a range of Live Filter Bacteria, which are perfect to add to a pond now to help boost its biological filter to cope with the rising workload.
