Aquascape Sludge & Filter Cleaner 1 gallon (MPN 98883)

Aquascape Sludge Cleaner is a product that contains 5 concentrated strains of beneficial bacteria. These bacteria work together to maintain a healthy balance in your pond by cleaning between rocks, gravel, and preventing filter pads from getting clogged. In an enclosed ecosystem like a water garden, factors such as fish load, leftover fish food, leaves, sludge, and debris can disrupt the balance. Aquascape Sludge Cleaner helps to restore and maintain a strong biological balance, resulting in clean, clear, and healthy water conditions. To use Aquascape Sludge Cleaner, it is recommended to add it to the area of the pond with the most circulation or directly into the skimmer opening. The water temperature should be at least 60°F for optimal effectiveness. One pump of the product is sufficient to treat up to 100 gallons of water. In case of dirty ponds or at the beginning of the season, it is advisable to treat the pond twice a week for the first 2 weeks. After the initial treatment, a maintenance dose of 1 pump per 100 gallons weekly is recommended for the rest of the season. By following these dosage instructions, you can ensure the continued benefits of Aquascape Sludge Cleaner in maintaining a healthy environment for your pond.
