Maintains
correct water conditions to provide a stable kH and pH ....
Stable
kH and pH
Essential for healthy water plants
Improved filter performance
Greatly reduces fish stress
Easy to use and dose
One of the single most
important parameters that needs to be controlled in any form of fish keeping is
the pH value, (it tells us the acid/alkaline properties of our water). All life
within the pond requires a stable pH, including the beneficial bacteria
colonies. These are essential to control the waste products that the fish
produce and to keep the correct balance within our pond and filters. The value
of kH (carbonate hardness) that is present in our water has a direct
relationship and affect on pH. If the kH (‘hardness’) of the water is kept
within the correct range of 6-8°, this will give a greater stability
(‘buffering’) to the pH. The beneficial bacteria we introduce and maintain
within our filter systems will naturally reduce the kH value of a healthy pond
over time, during the processes of nitrification and de-nitrification. =The
higher the stocking density/feed rate in the pond, the more nitrification/denitrification
takes place within the filter. This in turn will accelerate the rate with which
the kH value will reduce. If the kH value is allowed to drop out of the ideal
range (below 6-8°), the pH value will fluctuate. This will have an adverse
effect on all life within the pond including the beneficial bacteria within the
filter, plants and most importantly our fish. This natural product will allow
the fish keeper to ensure that over time the kH value is kept within the correct
range. This will give enormous benefit to the entire eco system.
