Pete Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 My 100gal summer tub turned into a year-round tub for my white clouds. It's been going for almost a year now. For those of you who have kept ponds year round for long periods of time, is it necessary to gavel vac and perform water changes periodically, or should I just continue to let nature take its course and top off due to evaporation? Is Old Tub Syndrome an issue to be concerned about? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanni Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I've had my pond running for a while now. I've found that I don't really need to do water changes, the water parameters are find and all the fish are doing great. If the pond is doing fine, it's probably best to just leave it alone instead of changing all of a sudden. Top offs should be fine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitecloudDynasty Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Not really water change, but i do remove leafs and stuff from the tub and top off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Thanks. I'll just continue to top off and monitor things. I tested all my water parameters and everything is looking great. Healthy fish and tons of plant growth. The most "invasive" thing I have to do in terms of pond upkeep is removing frogbit and anacharis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
