Microbe-Lift Montmorillonite Clay 25 (MPN MLKKB25)

One of the key factors in maintaining healthy and vibrant Japanese koi is the clay mud in which they are raised. MICROBE-LIFT/Calcium Montmorillonite Clay originates from an exceptional calcium clay deposit, known to be one of the highest in the world. The presence of calcium-based clay in your pond water can greatly contribute to the overall health and appearance of your koi. By incorporating this clay into your pond, you may witness your koi's markings becoming more vivid and prominent, resulting in a stunning display of color. In artificial ponds such as plastic, vinyl, cement, or rubber ones, there is often a lack of nutrients at their bottom. In contrast, natural carp in the wild rely on mud to obtain various micronutrients and minerals. This is where MICROBE-LIFT/Calcium Montmorillonite Clay plays a crucial role. Due to its negative electric charge, it binds to positively charged toxins in the water, effectively detoxifying and clarifying it. Not only does the clay act as a nutrient source for your koi, but it also acts as a natural flocculent, helping filter out particles that have been bound to it, resulting in a cleaner and healthier pond environment. To ensure optimal results, it is important to follow the recommended dosage of Montmorillonite Clay based on your pond size. For ponds ranging between 100 and 249 gallons, a level teaspoon should be added twice weekly for maintenance. In larger ponds, such as those between 250 and 500 gallons, a level tablespoon is recommended. For ponds ranging from 501 to 1,000 gallons, the dosage should be increased to two level tablespoons twice weekly. By incorporating this clay into your pond care routine, you provide essential nutrition, enhance fish color, and maintain the clarity of your pond water.
