Pondzilla Pro

Pondzilla utilizes the latest in enzyme technology to degrade 30%-60% of pond muck at one tenth the cost of physical cleaning. Pondzilla helps clarify water and degrade muck and sludge in lakes and ponds by activating the muck layer and stimulating bacterial activity. It contains surface-activating agents, that liberate pond muck and allow the active ingredients to speed up nature’s natural decomposition cycle. It works particularly well in ponds with filamentous problems. Use in combination with VitaStim MD Pellets (See Related Products below) for a optimum control of algae & muck.

Applicators like it because it cleans up the muck and sludge. They get called out to clean up plant material and have to tell the customer, “I cannot kill dead.” PondZilla accelerates the decomposition of plant debris.

For ponds that receive a lot of leaf matter, this is a good way to break them down. Leaves from soft maple and fast growing trees tend to degrade better than pine needles and leaves that are high in lignin (oak leaves). If leaves are already decomposed Pondzilla will help degrade them further. If leaves are fresh, Pondzilla will not complete the degradation over the course of a summer. Pondzilla also degrades pollen from pine trees, cottonwoods or others.

Pondzilla is very effective, when also used as an adjuvant to an algaecide or herbicide application, at controlling algae in ponds. While bacterial and enzyme products cannot kill aquatic plant growth alone, when used with algaecides or herbicides, they can help restore natural balance by quickly breaking down the dying weeds into sugars that the beneficial bacteria consume eliminating the need to physically remove dying plant material.

Pondzilla Pro will accelerate the decomposition of the following:

PlantsAlgaeCyanobacteria

Sago PondweedSpirogyaMicrocystis

Widgeon GrassHydrodictyonNodularia

CattailsMicractinium

Alligator WeedCladophora

Southern NaiadPithophora

Spike RushChara

BladderwortGolden Algae

PondZilla Pro can be used in the following applications: Water Feature & Small decorative ponds, Ponds and Lakes, Golf Course Ponds, Canals, Aquaculture, Fish Hatcheries, Raceways, Garden & Koi Ponds, Retention Ponds, Lagoons

What is Pondzilla & what does it do?
PondZilla is an activator, penetrant and cleaning agent developed from catalyst technology which helps to polish a lake or pond. Pondzilla works by reacting with dead plant matter in a water body and converting it to simple sugars. These sugars are then uptaken by beneficial bacteria and released to the atmosphere as a harmless gas. PondZilla can also be tank-mixed & applied with algaecides/herbicides at a rate of 1 - 2 gallons per surface acre .

NOTE: PondZilla Pro does not kill algae, however, it does break it down and makes it more susceptible to algaecides and herbicides.

VitaStim MD Pellets

VitaStim MD Pellets are slow-releases pellets that sink down into the muck to deliver essential bio-stimulants and indigenous bacteria. They penetrate and degrade pond muck by stimulating naturally-occurring bacteria and adding sludge-eating cultures. This product works faster than any other on the market today!

The pellets are a dense product that look like orange Chinese dried noodles and are made to be "tossed in" and sink to the bottom. When they sink into the muck the bacteria produce enzymes that speed up the breakdown of organic waste. They contain safe and beneficial bacteria, and will not harm aquatic species, fish, waterfowl or people. Use just around beaches & docks or treat entire bodies of water. Can eliminate the need for manual dredging savings thousands of dollars. No EPA or regional wetland permits necessary because it is 100% organic. Spread by hand or with a spreader mounted on a boat for large areas. 55 gallons drum sizes are available for large treatment area by special request. Please call our office 203-287-0636 for more information.

NOTE: It is always best to have aeration in the pond, especially if fish are present. These bacteria will consume oxygen as they eat away the muck on the bottom. If oxygen levels are low, a fish-kill is possible. To prevent this in non-areated ponds or lakes, separate areas to be treated and do them one at a time over a period of 2-3 weeks.

With four feet of muck, widgeon grass, alligator weed, and torpedo

grass, this Florida pond was the neighborhood eyesore. A double dose of PondZilla 100 and MD Pellets combined with a herbicide application turned this pond right around. Muck levels were down to one foot by fall. The applicator was amazed and the residents were ecstatic.

This Ohio pond had a hydrodictyon problem and had not looked good in years. With aeration and PondZilla 100 blended with an algaecide/herbicide, along with our VitaStim Summer Slam and MD Pellets, the applicator cleaned up this pond like never before. Rather than just killing the hydrodictyon we focused on disrupting its life cycle.

It is easy to apply. You can treat the entire pond or only in the areas that muck tends to
accumulate. Works well in lined ponds also.
Users report 9”-12” rings eaten away down to the
liner where every pellet landed!

Super Dose: For natural ponds or lakes where you would like to degrade up to 1 foot per month. Feed 50# per acre (43,560 sqft or 325,700 gallons) once per month. For smaller or liner ponds, use 1 lb per 6,500 gallons of water once a month.

Traditional Dose: Feed 10-25# per surface-acre once per month. For smaller & liner ponds, use 1 lb per 13,000 - 32,000 gallons per month depending upon amount of muck in pond. Product is safe. Over dosing will not hurt fish or snails just degrade muck faster and make your pond cleaner.

Temperature Range: 60° F (17°C) and up. The warmer it is the faster they reproduce and digest sludge. They will work up to 130°F (54°C).

Lakes: VitaStim MD Pellets can be distributed into a lake by a fertilizer spreader attached to the back of the boat. VitaStim MD Pellets are typically 1/10th to 1/20th of the cost of dredging.

Decorative Ponds: VitaStim MD Pellets are a nice way to keep the pond in check and keep muck to a minimum.

Retention Ponds: Retention ponds start out nice and beautiful and after a few years they become loaded with algae, plants and muck. VitaStim MD Pellets are an easy way to help balance them out and reduce muck. These pellets will also work well in retention ponds that may have a lot of road salt. A biologically cleaned pond is a happy pond. A mechanically cleaned pond can often be unhappy for some time as it tries to find biological balance.

Golf Courses: Golf courses can get a lot of muck due to runoff, high nutrient loadings, and leaf and grass waste. VitaStim MD Pellets are an easy and affordable ways to keep golf course ponds free of muck and more importantly to help keep them biologically balanced.

Shorelines: Used by homeowners to reduce muck around the shoreline. Just sprinkle some pellets around a dock once a month and let them sink into the muck. Month by month the lake bottom will clean up. Many customers have called them little vacuum cleaners as they see the muck reduce.

Aquaculture: Used to degrade fish poop that accumulates in the bottom of a pond. VitaSitm MD Pellets have proven to be economical and efficient for fish farmers who want to minimize muck accumulation as an alternative to dredging.

Q: How long do they take?

A: Customers can usually see benefits in a couple of weeks.

Q: How much will the muck go down?

A: It really depends on the muck composition, water temperature and water movement. Typically customers will see 40-80% of the muck gone over the course of a summer.

Q: Does the muck ever increase?

A: Early in treatment as bacterial activity increases muck can get fluffier and less dense, this is temporary. For the best judge of progress measure initially and later in the fall when temperature cools off.

Q: How do they work?

A: VitaStim MD Pellets sink into the muck and come alive. Muck is high in organics (food), nitrogen and phosphorous. With these conditions they will grow. If they are applied near a shoreline that gets good wave action this works dissolved oxygen into the muck and they will work faster.

Q: Where do they work best?

A: In organic matter that is humus and has started the degradation process. In laymen’s terms if you step in the muck and it’s gooey this is a good application. Works on dead leaves, dead weeds, dead grass, fish poop (like in aquaculture) and waterfowl waste.

Q: Where do they not work?

A:They do not work on rock, sand, gravel or sticks. They work slowly on oak leaves, pine needles and other organic matter that is high in lignin (woody).

Q: Will the pellets harm fish?

A: No, if they eat the bullets they will simply pass through them.

Q: Is there a scientific way to see how much muck will degrade?

A: Have a lab run a TVSS (total volatile suspended solids test). This will tell you what % is organic and biodegradable.

Q: Why are these pellets better than other pellets?

A: #1 We make them small so they cover a lot of surface area.

#2 The bacteria in the pellets are indigenous in many lakes. They are not just from a test tube.

#3 The pellets contain a broad spectrum of organisms. The broader the spectrum the better the results.

Wouldn’t it be nice to see the bottom of your lake and eliminate dredging projects?

A fish farmer in Eastern Texas grows his fish stock the natural way, as he prefers to stay away from chemicals and he does not keep extremely high population densities. The biggest concern he has is the amount of muck fish generate and how much room it takes up which is where VitaStim MD Pellets come in for Bob. MD Pellets are all natural and reduce muck through high concentrations of helpful bacteria and biostimulants, reducing the need to dredge the ponds. It saves thousands of dollars annually and doesn’t have an adverse effect on the fish. Sticking to his methods he is rarely required to feed his fish, and with the lack of a chemical presence he can keep the price of his fish low while they are among the healthiest and fastest growing fish on the market, with trophy largemouth bass being caught seven years after stock date. The fish farm’s inventory consists of channel catfish, blue gills, sunfish, largemouth bass, threadfin shad, fathead minnows and season stock of triploid grass carp, black crappies, and striped bass.

Leaves and Organic Build Up

This pond in Southern Ohio was filled with leaves and organic build up. The applicator treated it with VitaStim MD Pellets.

A lake management company in the Ft Meyers, Florida area tested the muck-removing abilities of our MD Pellets against another treatment in golf course ponds over two months. In the 60 day period, the muck levels in the pond treated with the competitor’s product increased by 3 inches. A nearby pond was left untreated as a control and lost 5 inches of muck during the study. In the same time, MD Pellets removed a full foot of bottom sludge, or half of the muck in its pond. WITHIN THE SIXTY DAYS of treatment, MD Pellets degraded an entire foot of muck, exactly half the muck in its test lake.This is in contrast to the control lake, which lost 5 inches of muck, and the lake treated with the competitor’s product, whichdespite having the least muck to begin with, ended up gaining 3 inches of muck.These particular lakes illustrate what can be a common problem in Southern Florida: being surrounded by heavily manicuredlawns and near the ocean can result in large deposits of organic matter, and the year-round warm temperatures create a perfectenvironment for high muck production. MD Pellets negate the need for constant treatment by intergrating themselves intothe lake ecosystem and growing stronger with inch of muck they degrade. Their high germination rate means the work forapplicators is cut in half.

The Muckity-Muck of Your Pond

Summer is here, you’re sitting on the deck enjoying the birds, fish, frogs and just reveling in amazement at how beautiful your pond is. Summer is a wonderful time to enjoy your pond and it’s also a wonderful time for a variety of plants to grow. These may include alga and nuisance aquatic weeds. Warm water and nutrients can make several species proliferate.

For those of us who built brand new ponds, it’s important we take healthy steps in this infant pond’s development. This would include aeration, stocking the right kinds and sizes of fish, and choosing what aquatic plants you prefer to have growing rather than completely letting Mother Nature decide. For new ponds, it’s about creating the right balance so your ecosystem is in harm. In some parts of the country this may also involve adding lime or fertilizer, depending upon what’s dissolved in your water. If you add bacterial cultures to these ponds, do so sparingly as these fresh bodies of water can have very limited activity of all types and a little dab will do ya.

For those of us with more established ponds, or ponds that have been neglected, it’s about picking your battle each summer. Find one or two things you can do to improve water quality and slow the growth of “bad” plants. Remember this, aquatic plants need three fundamental things to be able to grow. They need sunlight, temperature, and food. If ponds like this have a layer of muck mostly of biodegradable organic matter in the bottom, then we suggest physically dredging the pond or using a bacterial product in the bottom to remove muck. Beneficial microbes working with aeration can break down some of this muck, thus removing food from the rooted plants we don’t like. We focus on managing the muck in older ponds as this is a rich source of nutrients and will often cause turbidity in the pond.

As always, any time you are trying to control alga or aquatic plants, consult with a local lake management applicator. There are so many types of aquatic plants and so many chemistries available to control the different situations, we always suggest finding field biologists who know plants and are careful with the environment. This means they know how to use the least chemistry with the most benefit.

For you do-it-yourselfers, please be cautious. It’s very important to understand the “cause and effect” you will create any time you treat a pond. That holds true for both herbicides and aeration. Identify the “problem” before you offer a solution. Oftentimes, the problem is not the plants, but what is available that caused the plants to grow.

Summer is also a dynamic time because weather can dictate much of the health of your pond. Drought can have an impact as our friends in Texas saw last summer. Heavy rains in other parts of the country wash in leaves, grass, and nutrients. Floods can exchange nutrients, and extended periods of cool, cloudy weather can completely disrupt the chemistry of some ponds. For ponds that experienced a drought the year before and the pond was refilled with fresh rainwater, expect that water to green up quick as that ponds nutrients have concentrated in the soils and will easily dissolve into the water.

The biggest single issue that ponds f, ace in the summer is lower dissolved oxygen concentration. Warmer water has lower oxygen solubility. This is when it pays the most to have an aeration system. If you see fish coming to the surface looking for air then you know you need aeration. But, by then it’s too late.

So, summer is a time of activity inside the water column. Pay close attention to the volume and types, of aquatic plants which grow. If your pond is older and has a buildup of muck, consider what it would take to begin to convert that muck to its basic nutr, , , , , ients and, , to bind them where they can’t create a situation where your pond’s health is at risk.

Learn the symptoms and you’ll be able to identify potential problems and be proactive. See chart below.

If you are noticing any of these issues this chart should give you some options to choose from. Water clarity varies from pond to pond and it really varies depending on the environment. Some ponds are not meant to be crystal clear while others just naturally stay clear. Study the chart and study your pond. The more you learn the better you will get and the better your pond will thrive.

Muck Away Pellets

MuckAway pellets, which are also made of beneficial bacteria, are designed to sink to the bottom of a pond or lake to digest the detritus, which are their natural food source. As the bacteria start to work, the muck will begin to break down, noxious odors will dissipate and the water clarity will improve. It’s great for spot-treating troublesome areas, like beaches and shorelines.

When used as directed, MuckAway will break down up to 5 inches of muck per year. One pail of MuckAway will treat up to 16,000 square feet of pond. It’s safe for use around horses, livestock, birds, fish, pets and wildlife, too.

Pellets sink to the bottom and begin working immediately
Available in 4 lbs (64 Pellets) or 8 lbs (128 Pellets)
4 lbs treats 75 feet of shoreline for 3 months
8 lbs treats 75 feet of shoreline for 6 months
Dissolves muck into a odorless gas, allowing it to escape unnoticed from the water column
Eliminates Odors associated with dead vegetation
Great for spot treating troublesome areas such as, beaches and shorelines
Safe for people, pets, fish, waterfowl & wildlife.
5-Year Shelf Life

How do MuckAway Pellets reduce mucky bottoms?
Muck is caused by rotting vegetation, leaves, twigs and fish waste that accumulate on the bottom of your pond. MuckAway Pellets are a special blend of highly concentrated beneficial bacteria. Designed for spot-treating, they go to work on contact to rapidily dissolve organic waste into an odorless gas which escapes unnoticed out of the water column. MuckAway Pellets are so effective that when used regularly you can remove up to 5 inches of muck per year.

Dosage Rate:
Use ONE scoop per 1,000 sq. ft. of treatment area.

Example: To treat a beach area that consists of 100' of shoreline and extendes 20' out into the pond or lake: 100 x 20 = 2,000 sq. ft. = TWO scoops of pellets.

How to Apply:
Broadcast MuckAway evenly over the treatment area by scoop or spreader.

When to Apply:
Apply every 2-4 weeks when water temperatures area above 50°F. Treatment should continue until desired results are achieved.

Pond-Clear Liquid (Gallon) Benificial Bacteria for Ponds & Lakes
Buy Now: $45.99

Liquid Pond-Clear - 1 Gal

Pond-Clear utilizes specially formulated starins of bacteria to help create a healthy pond ecosystem, reducing mucky bottoms and providing sparkling clear water. If you're not adding specialized bacteria or running an aeration system, the bacteria currently working in your podn are mainly anaerobic, meaning they do not require oxygen to survive. Anaerobic bacteria will decompose organics at an extremely slow rate while producing by-products such as a "rotton egg" smell and black muck. Anaerobic bacteria are also relatively ineffective at oxidizing nutrients suspended in the water column. Aerobic bateria, found in Pond-Clear, use oxygen and are capable of decomposing organics at an accelerated rate. Formulated with speciaized strains of bacteria, Pond-Clear produces no foul smelling by-products and does not contribute to black muck.

1 Gallon Container will treat up to ¼ acre for 2 months or ½ acre for 1 month.
100% all-Natural
Keeps ponds clean & clear all season
Safe for people, pets, fish, livestock & wildlife
Use ½ gallon every 2 weeks for up to 1/2 acre pond
2-Year Shelf Life

How to apply:
Apply directly out of the container. Pond Clear Liquid works best when poured in several spots along the shoreline.

When to apply:
Apply every two weeks when water temperatures are above 50° F. Wait 3 days after an algaecide and/or herbicide treatment to apply.
