Instructions for use:
How Much: One scoop treats up 1000 gallons of pond
water
How
Often: For new ponds or after winter, treat daily for the
first 10 days. After the pond has matured use a maintenance dose of
1 scoop per 1000 gallons weekly.
How
To: Add to the area in the pond with the most circulation
or directly into the pond skimmer opening.
Why: Adding beneficial bacteria is one of the most
important things you can do for your pond. Don’t wait until you
have a problem to treat the pond. Prevent problems before they
happen with a simple weekly maintenance dose of Aquascape Beneficial
Bacteria.
Please
Note:
Water temperature should be a minimum of
50F (10C)
Keep out of reach of children. Store at room
temperature.

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.
