Pond Keeper Pro Nitrifying Pond Bacteria is a super
concentrated (30,000,000 cfu/
ounce)bacteria consortium that
contains both ammonia reducing Nitrosomonas and nitrite eliminating Nitrobacter
cultures.
Nitrifying bacteria play an integral role in the nitrogen
cycle in ponds and aquariums as they are responsible for the biological
filtration of toxic ammonia and nitrite that is created from fish waste and
other organic matter. During the nitrification process, ammonia is converted to
nitrite by Nitrosomonas and nitrite is then converted into nitrate by
Nitrobacter.
Pond Keeper Pro Nitrifying Bacteria can be used to quickly
establish (cycle) a new pond or water garden, jump start a crashed filtration
system, replenish nitrifiers after a medication treatment or when large volume
water changes occur.
Due to the extreme concentration level of this product, new
ponds can be cycled in less than 5 days and in as little as 36 hours. If left
solely to nature, it could take 6-8 weeks for a new pond to cycle and be capable
of supporting fish.
MUST BE KEPT REFRIGERATED
Remains viable for up to 3
months
Preparation
Nitrifying bacteria are very sensitive organisms and require
certain conditions in a pond for them to thrive and colonize. Use the following
checklist to ensure your pond is ready to support nitrifiers.
1. Be sure to de-chlorinate the water with a water
conditioner like Pond Keeper All-In-One Water Conditioner
2. Turn off UV lights, Ozone Generators and Protein Skimmers
before application and leave off for 7 days
3. pH should be as close to neutral as possible and remain
steady.
4. Water temperature should be moderate with a range of 77ÃÃÃð
F to 86 ÃÃÃð F.
5. Dissolved oxygen levels should be at 6 mg/l or better.
Application
Rates
Apply 8 oz of Pond Keeper Pro Nitrifying Pond Bacteria per
300 gallons of water.
Pour directly into pond near filter. Fish may be added
immediately. Keep feeding low during the first week. Ammonia reduction will
begin to be seen after the first 24 hours. Nitrite should be near zero within 5
days. Once ammonia & nitrite are both at zero, slowly increase feeding or
add more fish. When used as instructed, additional applications arent
needed. Due to the sensitivity of this product, it must be SHIPPED
OVERNIGHT.
