AquascapePRO Cold Water Bacteria 1 Gallon (MPN 98895)

Aquascape Cold Water Beneficial Bacteria is a product that contains 7 concentrated strains of beneficial bacteria. These bacteria are specifically selected to effectively clean and balance water gardens, even at temperatures below 50F or 10C. In enclosed ecosystems like water gardens, various factors such as fish load, uneaten fish food, leaves, sludge, and debris can disrupt the balance. Aquascape Cold Water Beneficial Bacteria aims to address these issues by reducing organic material and minimizing ammonia, nitrite, and excess nutrients like phosphate, which can lead to poor water quality and unsightly conditions. To properly use Aquascape Cold Water Beneficial Bacteria, it is recommended to add the product to the area of the pond with the most circulation or directly into the skimmer opening. One pump of the bacteria can treat up to 100 gallons of water. The dosage varies depending on the season. In the fall, if the water temperature is below 50°F, the product should be used twice a week for the first two weeks. In the spring, when the water temperature reaches 40°F, the same dosage should be applied. 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 or the temperature reaches 60°F, depending on the season. By following these guidelines and using Aquascape Cold Water Beneficial Bacteria, water garden owners can effectively maintain a clean and balanced ecosystem, while also improving water quality and reducing unsightly conditions.
