Aquaclearer Extreme Liquid
How Does It Work?
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 60F (15C) degrees and starts digesting the dead organics in the pond.
- AquaClearer Extreme Liquid contains beneficial bacteria and enzymes that are scientifically blended and tested to produce maximum results in ornamental ponds.
- AquaClearer Extreme Liquid contains 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.
- By adding this AquaClearer Bacteria periodically to a water feature is one of the most important things you can do to maintain clear, healthy water.
- Add this beneficial bacteria in the spring to start your system, in the summer, spike it periodically to keep the water clear. Also available in fast acting liquid formulations as well.
- For cold water (40 - 60 degrees), we recomend AquaClearer Extreme Cold Water Liquid also available on this site.
- Safe for Fish & Plants!
- Application Rate: 1 oz./3,000 gallons of Pond Water
- NOTE: Treatment quanities can be safely increased to up to 4 times the application rate if water quality and claarity problem is severe or if pond is not adequately filtered
- Use every day for 2 weeks for new ponds, then 2-4 times per month afterwards.
- pH of water must be between 6.5 - 9.0 for best results.
- Dissolved oxygen levels above 3 ppm (3mg/l) for best results.
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.
Older Formulations (Pre-2009)
In the past, our formulations were mostly different strains of heterotrophic bacteria. Our goal was to make a product that combines heterotrophic and lithotrophic bacteria in different ratios. More heterotrophs for the removal of sludge, more lithotrophs for supporting the nitrogen cycle and making the pond stable.
New Formulations have Higher Concentrations of bacteria
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.).
Here is sample of the bacteria counts of our newly formulated dry product:
Old Formulation (Pre-2009)
AquaClearer Extreme Dry = 820 million CFU/gram 2 strain blend
New Formulation (Post 2008)
AquaClearer Extreme Dry = 2.9 BILLION CFU/ gram 5 strain blend
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.

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
Use these formulas to help calculate how much product to purchase & use. Always read and follow the individual product's label instructions)
