Ammo-Rocks

Ammo-RocksThe perfect biological filter substrate made from 100% Zeolite. Natural ion-exchange resins trap the toxic ammonia on the surface of the Ammo-Rocks. The growth of nitrifying bacteria is stimulated by the high surface area concentration of ammonia. The nitrifying bacteria grow faster and produce larger and more active colonies in the filter.
  • Natural ion-exchange resins trap the toxic ammonia on the surface of the Ammo-Rocks
  • Excellent filter media
  • Add to any pond filter
  • Use 10lbs per 300 gallons of pond water

Ammonium Chloride

Ammonium Chloride

When starting a new pond with a new filter using JUMP START some hobbyist prefer using ammonium chloride as an ammonia source for the nitrifying bacteria rather than load the pond with koi. Using ammonium chloride rather than koi as an ammonia source is a much safer way to seed the biofilter because the ammonia levels are not going to endanger the koi. Once the filter has cycled and the ammonia and nitrite levels are safe then you can introduce your koi. This ammonium chloride is lab grade (99.7% pure).

Available in a 500 gram jar.

Chlorine and Heavy Metal Remover

Chlorine and Heavy Metal Remover

Instantly neutralizes chlorine, copper, lead and zinc, as well as other heavy metals found in tap and well water, all of which may be toxic to fish and plants.

Details:

  • Instantly makes tap & well water safe for pond life
  • Use when setting up a pond or changing pond water
  • The health and beauty of all pond life depends on the quality of water added to the pond. Many tap water supplies used to fill garden ponds contain chlorine. While chlorine makes water safe for drinking it is highly toxic to pond life. Chlorine destroys fish gill tissue preventing the uptake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide resulting in fish death. Even low levels of chlorine irritate delicate skin tissue on frogs, snails, and salamanders.
  • Pond Care Chlorine and Heavy Metal Neutralizer instantly neutralizes chlorine and detoxifies heavy metals in tap water and ponds. Chlorine and Heavy Metal Neutralizer is safe and non-toxic for fish, plants, and other pond life. This product is naturally biodegradable and environmentally safe.

Microbe-Lift Ammonia Remover

Microbe-Lift Ammonia RemoverMicrobe-Lift Ammonia Remover removes ammonia, chlorine and chloramines rapidly and completely when used as directed.
  • MICROBE-LIFT/AMMONIA REMOVER gives beneficial bacteria time to multiply and recover if the biological filter gets damaged keeping pond fish from being stressed.
  • Buffered to help prevent a drop in both alkalinity (acid-neutralizing capacity) and pH when used to remove very high levels of total ammonia.
  • May be used at startup, when making water changes, replacing lost water due to evaporation or when your pond is overstocked with too many fish
  • Neutralizes residual chlorine and destroys deadly chloramine
  • Treats ammonia burn in pond fish
  • Works immediately and will not interrupt biological filtration
Safe and Non-toxic to Humans, Plants, Birds and Aquatic Life

To remove and detoxify ammonia, chlorine and chloramines for water in ponds, add 1 teaspoonful of MICROBE-LIFT/Ammonia Remover per 15 gallons (57 L.) or 1 fl. oz. per 90 gallons of water.

To remove ammonia in existing ponds add 1 teaspoonful/15 gallons of MICROBE-LIFT/Ammonia Remover for each 1.0 mg/L., or fraction thereof, of measured total ammonia (=0.85 mg/L. total ammonia-nitrogen). To control ammonia when shipping fish or invertebrates use MICROBE-LIFT/Ammonia Remover at the standard dosage rate or increase (up to 10 times) if total ammonia levels are expected to be higher than 1.0 mg/L. It is recommended for routine shipping of fishes and invertebrates that trial static shipping tests be performed to determine the typical levels of total ammonia that will occur in untreated water.

Contradictions:
Do not use with permanganate or chlorite-based treatments. Nessler's total ammonia test kits will give false, high (or off-scale) readings. Winkler dissolved oxygen tests will give false, low or zero readings; use indigo-carmine dissolved oxygen tests or DO meters. For total ammonia testing use only salicylate-based (indole-phenol) tests.

MICROBE-LIFT/Ammonia Test Strips will function properly. The MICROBE-LIFT/ Ammonia Test Strips are salicylate-based and work well with this product.

MICROBE-LIFT Niteout II Nitrifing Bacteria

MICROBE-LIFT Niteout II Nitrifing BacteriaSpecially Formulated For Rapid Ammonia Nitrite Reduction
MICROBE-LIFT/NITE-OUT II is designed specifically for pond waters that contain marine life. Its highly-specialized microbial consortium of nitrifying cultures are specially formulated to eliminate ammonia via a natural biological process termed nitrification. The cultures contained in MICROBE-LIFT/NITE-OUT II will establish, promote or stabilize and maintain nitrification in pond waters, eliminating the toxic effect of ammonia. MICROBE-LIFT/NITE-OUT II liquid nitrifying bacteria contains select strains of Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira and Nitrobacter. Nitrosomonas convert ammonia to nitrite and Nitrobacteria and Nitrospira convert nitrite to nitrate.

MICROBE-LIFT/NITE-OUT II comprises select microorganisms that are autotrophic—able to use carbon dioxide as the sole source of carbon—and are relatively slow growing, requiring specific conditions for optimum growth with typical cell division rates from 8 to 16 hours. Their performance and rate of growth are impacted by the environmental parameters required for nitrification. They are also highly oxygen-sensitive, requiring high dissolved oxygen levels (greater than 2 mg/L) to achieve maximum growth rates. Nitrite is produced by beneficial bacteria in the pond and the oxidation of harmful waste ammonia excreted by fish. Even though nitrite is not as toxic as ammonia, it is still very damaging to the health of fish.
  • Initiates nitrification
  • Promotes stable nitrification
  • Provides stable cold weather nitrification
  • Safe for use around plants, fish and animals
For optimum nitrification and ammonia removal, first treat your pond with Microbelift/PL, with select cultures to reduce organic levels that may inhibit the natural nitification process. Because nitrification requires adequate levels of alkalinity, check the pond water's pH level and, if necessary adjust it to be in the range of 7.2 to 8.4. Wait 24 hours and add the recommended rate of Microbelift/Nite-Out II to a well aerated section of the pond. ie: waterfalls or water return area. Use ML/Nite-Out II when your pond water temperatures are above 55F (18C).

Pond NovAqua

NovAqua is a unique and safe combination of chemical compounds that produce highly desirable effects in freshwater and marine systems.

NovAqua provides a protective colloid coating on a fish's body when the natural slime has been removed due to injury, disease, rough handling or netting. The coating acts like an invisible bandage, providing a barrier against serious loss of internal fluids and electrolytes and protects damaged areas of the body against external toxins and disease causing organisms.

NovAqua aids in concentrating certain drugs and antibacterials at the diseased or damaged site.

Ultimate

Ultimate

Ultimate is a convenient, liquid single phase, full-function water conditioner that has been scientifically formulated for use in koi and goldfish ponds. Ultimate should be used (1) when conditioning new water for ponds, (2) prior or during water additions to ponds, (3) before adding new fish or plants, and (4) when transporting koi or goldfish.

It is VERY important to use Ultimate when adding water to a pond that contains CHLORAMINES. Conventional dechlors will detoxify the clorine in the CHLORAMINES but do nothing to the ammonia released from the CHLORAMINES. Ultimate will detoxify both the chlorine and the ammonia in CHLORAMINES.

Ultimate is manufactured by AquaScience Research Group, who invented and manufacture AmQuel and Novaqua.

Ultimate will :

  • Removes & Detoxifies Chlorine
  • Removes & Detoxifies Ammonia
  • Destroys Chloramines
  • Detoxifies Copper & Heavy Metals
  • Boosts Alkalinity
  • Adds Essential Electrolytes
  • Adds 3-part Skin Slime Replacer
  • Reduces Stress
  • Instantly "Ages" Water

Dosage Rate: 1 pint per 1,000 gallons of system volume.
Available in Quarts, Gallons and 5 Gallons
