Aquascape Cold Water Bacteria 32 oz (MPN 98894)

Aquascape Cold Water Beneficial Bacteria is a product that helps maintain the cleanliness and balance of water gardens. It contains seven pure strains of beneficial bacteria that are specifically chosen for their effectiveness in reducing organic material and excess nutrients in the water. These bacteria work best at temperatures below 50F or 10C, making them suitable for cold water environments. Water gardens are closed ecosystems that can easily be disrupted by factors such as fish load, uneaten fish food, leaves, sludge, and debris. Aquascape Cold Water Beneficial Bacteria tackles these issues by reducing organic material like leaves and pond sludge, as well as reducing the levels of ammonia, nitrite, and excess nutrients like phosphate. These substances are known to contribute to poor water quality and unsightly conditions in the water garden. To use Aquascape Cold Water Beneficial Bacteria, simply add it to the area of the pond with the most circulation or directly into the skimmer opening. One pump of the product is sufficient to treat up to 100 gallons of water. In fall, if the water temperature is below 50F, it is recommended to treat the pond twice a week for the first two weeks. Similarly, in spring, when the water temperature reaches 40F, the same treatment should be applied. After the initial treatment, a maintenance dose of one pump per 100 gallons should be used weekly until the water begins to freeze in fall, or until the water temperature reaches 60F in spring.
