Wetland Pond & Lake Formula
(Reformulated AquaClearer
Extreme Wetland)
Aquascape Wetland Pond and
Lake contains 8 pure strains of concentrated beneficial
bacteria, including PSB bacteria and enzymes. PSB (Photo
Synthetic Bacteria) help quickly clear pond water by clumping fine
debris and allowing it to settle
The natural bacteria in this product instantly
activates as it hits the water. The bacteria multiply every 20-40
minutes in pond water temps above 55 degrees and starts digesting
the dead organics in the pond.
-
Wetland
Pond & Lake contains the most concentrated
beneficial bacteria and enzymes that are scientifically blended and
tested to produce maximum results during colder temperatures.
- During the
spring and autumn seasons, there is extreme nutrient loading in the
pond as trees and plants in large pond environments.
-
Wetland
Pond & Lake is a highly concentrated blend of
proprietary blend of microbes that are effective at accerelerating
the digestion of this organic material at the bottom of the
pond. These specific beneficial microbs and enzymes that are
effective at reducing sludge, uneaten fish food, fish waste, and
excess nutrients that cause poor water quality and clarity. Think
of your Wetland Pond & Lake microbes as your continuous
live in pond clean up crew!
- Add these
beneficial bacteria in the spring and in the fall to keep the water
clear.

What’s in the
products?
Heterotrophic Bacteria
Heterotrophic bacteria are
responsible for the reduction and decomposition of organics
including pond sludge. Heterotrophic strains of bacteria are easy
to source and found in many products currently on the market for
various purposes including waste water treatment.
Lithotrophic Bacteria
The most common and important types of lithotrophic bacteria in a
water garden are nitrosomonas and nitrobacter. These are vital in
the active removal of ammonia and nitrite caused by the
decomposition caused by the heterotrophic strains. There are many
theories on the name of the actual bacterial genus responsible but
most agree on these two strains. Lithotrophs are harder to source
and reproduce at a slower rate, making them relatively more
expensive.
If Aquascape bacterial products are added on a regular basis and
populations found in our products become dominant, it helps promote
competitive exclusion (The competitive exclusion principle,
sometimes referred to as Gause's Law of competitive exclusion or
just Gause's Law, states that two species that compete for the
exact same resources cannot stably coexist.).
What does this mean for you and
your pond?
A stable, clean, clear biotope for the pond inhabitance and your
family!
The higher the bacteria count in the pond, the more bacteria will
start to utilize other elements that can cause unsightly water
conditions including algae. Some scientists have also proven that
the use of beneficial bacteria can also eliminate bad bacterias
like salmonella found in captive turtle
environments.

How it
works: Accumulation of nitrogen is one of the most
critical problems of a re-circulating "water re-use" system.
Nitrogen in the system, commonly referred to as Total
Ammonia-Nitrogen (TAN), is a by-product of protein metabolism. TAN
is excreted from the gills of fish as they digest food and is
produced when bacteria decomposes organic waste solids within the
system. When the water in a system has a pH of about 7.0, the
system is stable and the majority of TAN is ionized and does not
adversely affect the system. But when a system has a pH of about
9.0, up to 30 percent of TAN may not be ionized and levels of
ammonia-nitrogen can become extremely toxic to
fish.
Nitrite-nitrogen results from the oxidation of
ammonia-nitrogen. When nitrifying bacteria (nitrosomonas) consume
ammonia-nitrogen for energy, they produce nitrite-nitrogen as a
by-product. Nitrite-nitrogen then binds with hemoglobin to form
methemoglobin, which is not capable of binding and transporting
oxygen. This ultimately suffocates the fish. In most cases
re-circulating systems with mature nitrifying bacteria colonies
should maintain nitrite-nitrogen concentrations below 1 mg/l.
Fortunately, nitrobacter bacteria, also present within the system,
use nitrite-nitrogen for energy and produce a much less harmful
nitrate-nitrogen by-product.
Nitrifying
bacteria are the foundation of biological filtration and safely
grow on all surfaces of the aquatic environment, including
substrate, plumbing and the walls of the tank.

Calculations for Water Volume of Ponds , Streams
& Waterfalls
Pond
Water Volume
(Length x
Width x Average
Depth) x 7.48 = Water Volume of Pond in
gallons
1 cubic
ft. = 7.48 gallons of water
Example: Pond Measures:
11’L
x16’W x 2’AD
(11'L x 16'W x 2'AD) x 7.48 =
2,634
Gallons of water
(The addition of rocks and
gravel will lessen the actual water volume beacuse of
displacement)
Water
Volume in a Stream
(Length x Width x Depth) x 7.78 = Water
Volume of Stream in Gallons
Example: Stream Measures: 15'L x 3'W x 2"D
First
Calculate Depth in feet not inches: 1" = 0.12' so ...
2"D = 0.24'D
(15'L x
3"W x 0.24'D) x 7.48 =
81
Gallons of Water
Water
Volume in Waterfalls = Same as
Streams
