| This is a very
concentrated product that includes Nitrosomonas species to degrade
ammonia and Nitrobacter species to degrade Nitrite.
Our ultra high concentration will provide aquatic
environments with faster and more positive results when compared to the
much lower concentrations some other companies are offering.
Bacteria count: 96 Billion CFU / gallon
minimum
Nitrifying Bacteria work efficiently under the following conditions:
- Carbonate Hardness of >100mg/l .
- Low levels of dissolved organic matter. ( Less
than 50 ppm)
- Low concentrations of ammonia. ( Up to 2 ppm)
- If ammonia and / or nitrite levels are higher
than 2ppm do a partial water change.
- A nice steady flow of water through the filter
i.e. no abnormal restrictions or blockages.
- Temperatures below 29° C.
- Plenty of attachment sights or micro niches.
- High dissolved oxygen levels. (Above 4ppm)
- Good circulation of pond detritus. (Nitrifiers
grow on suspended detritus.)
- No poisonous chemicals. ( Nitrifiers are
very sensitive to antibiotics, residual chlorine, detergents, etc)
- Low rates of water exchange. (Less than 20%
per day)
- Aerators that circulate as well as aerate are
best.
Nitrifying Bacteria is particularly useful for
the Koi keeper during early spring when the water temperature is
starting to increase and you're beginning to feed your fish regularly.
It's at this point that Ammonia or Nitrite levels can increase fairly
quickly and the natural bacteria in your filter system are not
established in high enough concentrations to be able to degrade
these toxins.
If you find that you are having Ammonia or
Nitrite problems take the time to try and find out why you have
the problem. Treat the problem and not just the symptom.
Save yourself the worry and save your fish the
stress - Give your filter the boost it needs at this time of year or
whenever you are having high Ammonia \ Nitrite problems.
