Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals 9 lbs (MPN PSALTLG)

Adding Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals to your pond water can help maintain a healthy environment for fish and reduce the risk of parasitic infections. When used in proper dosages, these salt crystals have been proven effective in combating parasites in the pond. Additionally, they can block the toxic effects of nitrite and promote the production of a thicker slime coat on the fish, which strengthens their immune system and reduces stress. However, it is important to exercise caution when using salt in ponds that have aquatic plants. Salt concentration should be carefully monitored as it can be harmful to certain plants. Prior to adding salt to your pond, ensure that any zeolite products are removed. To apply the salt, mix it with pond water in a bucket and spread the solution around the perimeter of the pond. Avoid direct contact with pond plants to prevent any adverse effects. It is worth noting that salt does not evaporate from the pond, so regular water changes will not remove it. To determine the appropriate dosage for your pond, use a hydrometer to test the water and follow the recommended measurements provided. For small ponds, the ratio is 120g per 10 gallons of pond water, while for larger ponds, it is 5 cups (1.13 kg) per 100 gallons of pond water. If stress reduction is a concern, consider using Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt for quarantine tanks, as it contains added electrolytes and Allantoin, which promote wound and fin healing.
