Whats The Best Way To Clean A Garden Pond?
By Frank | April 25, 2008
Only Ammonia Eliminator can help you safely treat ammonia/nitrate problems in your water garden. By rapidly establishing superior growth colonies within your pond garden, you can effectively lessen dangerous levels of nitrates. Ammonia is then consumed by these fantastic bacteria and eliminated.
Ammonia is created by fish urine, even a fish’s own respiration and fish waste, uneaten food, organic waste. By causing the fish’s blood to forfeit its ability to carry oxygen, it creates stress and lowers the resistance to recurrent bacterial infections such as tail and fin rot, eye cloud, body slime and mouth fungus to name a few. In its un-ionized form, Ammonia can be toxic, while it remains non-toxic in its ionized form. By controlling the pH levels, you can ensure that your pond water remains at a healthy level. Ideally, you want your pH level to be no higher than 7.2 as ammonia begins to un-ionize and becomes toxic, resulting in a major disturbance to your water ponds delicate ecosystem.
Once you have determined your ponds pH level (easy to do with an Ammonia Test Kit), add Ammonia Eliminator to bring down the amount of ammonia to an acceptable level. Its always a good idea to apply a good nitrifying bacteria which will eat away the ammonia and nitrites, making for happy fish, greener plants and a cleaner looking pond.
