>>> What is Beneficial Bacteria & What does it do?
Beneficial Bacteria helps keep the Pond clean and healthy. Many different brands are available and are formulated to either generally contribute to pond health or attack specific problems. Microbe-Lift Sludge Away, for instance, is specifically formulated to reduce sludge build-up in the bottom of the pond to reduce the necessity of pond cleaning and draining.
The "Spring and Summer Cleaner" formulation helps degrade and reduce leaf and twig debris, while the "Autumn Prep" formula contains bacteria that will work and multiply in colder temperatures.
Beneficial Bacteria are beneficial for fish, since they reduce the toxic ammonia and nitrites from the pond.
The bacteria will help keep the pond clear in the long term by taking nutrients away that algae needs to grow.
Benefical Bacteria colonies have to be large enough to be able to handle the pond volume and fish load. Many factors reduce bacteria colonies (addition of chlorinated water, sudden temperature drops, leaching lime from rocks, mortar or concrete...to name just a few. It is important, for these reasons, to regularly add bacteria to keep the colony healthy and growing.
Our own "Fizzy Kicks" are specifically formulated to reduce bottom sludge, help detoxify the water and increase water clarity. "Fizzy Kicks" come in self-disolving blocks (no measuring, spilling) that are easy to administer. JUST THROW THEM IN THE POND! Pond Water Treatments
