Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals 35 lbs (MPN PSALTXLG)

Adding Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals to your pond water can have several benefits. Firstly, it helps to maintain a healthy environment for your fish. When used in the right amount, it has been proven to reduce the risk of parasitic infestations in your pond. Additionally, the salt crystals can temporarily block the toxic effects of nitrite and promote the production of a stronger slime coat on the fish's body surface. This, in turn, helps to strengthen their immune system and reduce stress. However, it is important to be cautious when using the salt crystals. Overdosing can have negative effects, so it is crucial to follow the recommended dosage carefully. If your pond contains aquatic plants, be extra careful as salt can be toxic to certain plants. Before adding salt, make sure to remove any zeolite products that are being used in your pond. To use Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals, test your pond water with a hydrometer first. Then, with your regular water changes, mix the salt and pond water in a bucket before spreading it around the perimeter of your pond. It is important to avoid direct contact with pond plants. For small ponds, the recommended dosage is 120g per 10 gallons of pond water. For larger ponds, you should use 5 cups (1.13 kg) per 100 gallons of pond water. If you are looking to reduce stress in your fish, consider using Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt, which contains added electrolytes and Allantoin to accelerate wound and fin healing, specifically for quarantine tanks.
