AquascapePRO Sludge & Filter Cleaner 1 gallon (MPN 30408)

Aquascape Sludge Cleaner is a product that contains five strains of concentrated heterotrophic beneficial bacteria. These bacteria work together to maintain a healthy biological balance in your pond, effectively cleaning the rocks, gravel, and preventing the filter pads from getting clogged. As ornamental water gardens are enclosed ecosystems, various factors such as fish load, leftover fish food, leaves, sludge, and other debris can disrupt the balance. However, with Aquascape Sludge Cleaner, you can ensure a strong biological balance, resulting in clean, clear, and healthy water conditions. To use Aquascape Sludge Cleaner, simply add it to the area of the pond with the highest circulation or pour it directly into the skimmer opening. It is important to note that the water temperature should be at least 60°F for optimal results. One pump of the product treats up to 100 gallons of water, making it suitable for ponds of various sizes. For particularly dirty ponds or at the start of the season, it is recommended to treat the pond twice a week for the first two weeks. After the initial treatment, a maintenance dose of one pump per 100 gallons of water should be used weekly for the rest of the season. By following these instructions and incorporating Aquascape Sludge Cleaner into your pond maintenance routine, you can ensure a consistently clean and healthy environment for your aquatic plants and fish.
