Aquascape Cold Water Bacteria 8 oz (MPN 98892)

Aquascape Cold Water Beneficial Bacteria is a specialized product designed to effectively clean and balance water gardens. It contains a concentrated formula of 7 pure strains of beneficial bacteria that work quickly, even at temperatures below 50F or 10C. Water gardens are enclosed ecosystems that can easily become imbalanced due to factors like fish load, uneaten fish food, leaves, sludge, and debris. This product tackles two important jobs: reducing organic materials such as leaves and pond sludge, and eliminating harmful substances like ammonia, nitrite, and excess nutrients that can lead to poor water quality and unattractive water conditions. To use Aquascape Cold Water Beneficial Bacteria, simply add it to the area of your pond with the most circulation or directly into the skimmer opening. One pump of this product can treat up to 100 gallons of water. The recommended dosage varies depending on the season. In the fall, if the water temperature is below 50F, it is advised to treat twice a week for the first two weeks. In the spring, when the water temperature reaches 40F, the same treatment schedule should be followed. After the initial treatment, a maintenance dose of 1 pump per 100 gallons of water should be used weekly until the water begins to freeze in the fall or the temperature reaches 60F in the spring. By following these guidelines, you can ensure the health and cleanliness of your water garden throughout the year.
