To achieve Koi pond aeration, there are some things you can do. One, you
can go to your local hobby store or pet supply store and purchase one of
those small air pumps, hook some tubing to it, along with an air
diffuser or sometimes called an air stone, and place it in your pond. I
still have the original one I bought about eight years ago, and it’s
still working. This has run for almost eight years non-stop, they are
very durable. It works two fold, one, to supply air to the pond water
and, two, it helps to keep a hole open in the ice during the winter.
Another way to obtain Koi pond aeration is to have different kinds of
under water pond plants such as Anacharis and Hornwort. These plants
will grow and spread out very well under water. Just kind of put them in
small bunches in the bottom of your pond. Just so you know if your plant
them in some kind of pot, chances are very good that your Koi will pull
them out. Koi are always tugging and uprooting something.
Waterfalls also provide a great way to help aerate the Koi pond. By
constantly having water running down a waterfall and crashing into the
pond, will help naturally aerate it.
The combination of all the above suggestions will give you the results
you need for proper Koi pond aeration.
