EcoStarter 8 oz. Dry
Always use a de-chlorinator when changing water or even just topping off your pond. Even low levels of chlorine and chloramines can be extremely toxic to fish. Chlorine is a very powerful oxidizing agent and it is toxic to fish at concentrations of less than 0.05 mg/L. Water used for fish culture should not contain any residual chlorine to be considered safe. Chlorine and chloramines cause gill damage which eventually results in gill lesions. These lesions will eventually thicken the gill filaments leaving the fish unable to utilize oxygen and release carbon dioxide, thus resulting in fish death. EcoStarter will work to break the chlorine and chloramine bonds (chlorine + ammonia = chloramine) and reduce the chlorine and ammonia down to non-toxic levels.

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
