Feeding
Regularly monitor your water temperature and adjust the amount and frequency of your feedings based on this temperature, the water condition, number and size of fish and their activity level. Avoid over-feeding and always remove any uneaten food remaining after the feeding period.
For 64-86°F (18-30°C) – Feed two to four times per day the amount your fish will completely consume within five minutes.
For 41-64°F (5-18°C) – Feed no more than twice daily the amount your fish will completely consume within five minutes. For best results try to feed during the warmer part of the day.
Below 41°F (5°C) – Do not feed your fish.
During any appetite loss, after sickness, or during medicating, your koi’s eating habits may be significantly reduced, careful monitoring of the amount of food you feed is required to avoid problems.
Note: Hikari Wheat-Germ Formula contains higher levels of natural ingredients which may cause a slight change in color from one production lot to another. Rest assured because of our rigid quality standards, each package meets our superior nutritional specifications.

Trans Instruments has specially designed the Koi Medic Sal Meter to measure the delicate salt concentration in the pond. The Model we list measures in percentage (%) The testers are accurate and easy to use. All you need to do is turn it on and dip into the pond water.
The Koi Medic provides accurate results and is very easy to use, simply turn on and hold in the pond. Within a couple seconds the LCD displays the salt concentration measured in percentage. Measures accurately from 0.01% to 1%.
Salt concentrations between 0.3% and 0.5% (3 to 5 ppt) will upset the osmotic balance of some parasites i.e. the parasites’ cells will dehydrate. Salt concentration of 0.3% are effective at detoxifying nitrite and concentration of 0.25% or higher has been used to control string algae.

Pond Matrix™ is a high porosity biomedia that provides efficient biofiltration for the removal of nitrogenous waste in ponds. Plastic bio-materials provide only external surface area, whereas Pond Matrix™ provides internal macroporous surface area. These macropores are ideally sized for the support of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. This allows Pond Matrix™, unlike other forms of biomedia, to remove nitrate along with ammonia and nitrite, simultaneously and in the same filter. Pond Matrix™ is completely inert and will not breakdown. It need not be replaced. It is also more suitable for use as a clean soil replacement for growing pond plants. Use 1–2 Liters of Pond Matrix™ for each 100 US gallons. Since the majority of the bacteria are internal, Pond Matrix™ may be rinsed when needed without damaging the filter. Pond Matrix™ is compatible with all types of wet or wet-dry filters.

BioWound is an effective topical micro-spray treatment for wounds, ulcers and lesions on fish. BioWound is an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal formulation.
Description
BioWound is an effective topical micro-spray treatment for wounds, ulcers and lesions on fish. BioWound is an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal formulation. BioWound offers BioWound is applied directly onto the infected wound by micro-spray application which dries quickly so that the fish can be returned to the water as soon as possible. It is advisable to sedate larger fish using BioSleep so that the fish is more relaxed and less prone to injury when handling. Do not allow BioWound to run into the eyes and gills of the fish. Koi fish in particular are prone to lesions and ulcers due to a number of reasons. They could simply knock or scratch themselves against the sides of the pond or a parasite may open a point of entry and this becomes infected, causing an ulcer to develop. It is advised to treat a lesion at the beginning stages before it gets out of hand and scars the fish or leads to its demise. Storage Store below 25°C in a dry place out of direct sunlight.

Pond Prime® is a complete conditioner that removes chlorine, chloramine, and detoxifies ammonia and nitrite. It also provides essential ions and stimulates natural slime coat. Pond Prime® also enhances nitrate removal. It will also detoxify any heavy metals found in the tap water at typical concentration levels. It should be the first choice conditioner when setting up a new pond, adding, or changing water. No other product is required to make water safe, even in high chloramine situations. Unlike competing products, Pond Prime® does not cause a pH drop or over-activate skimmers. A 500 mL bottle treats over 10,000 US gallons, much more than competing products.

Pond Stability® will rapidly and safely establish the pond biofilter in new ponds, thereby preventing fish deaths due to incomplete biofilter cycling. Pond Stability® will also prevent and reduce sludge build up. Pond Stability® is formulated specifically for the pond and contains a synergistic blend of aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative bacteria which facilitate the breakdown of waste organics, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. The bacteria employed by Pond Stability® are non-sulfur fixing and will not produce toxic hydrogen sulfide. Pond Stability® is completely harmless to all aquatic organisms as well as aquatic plants, thus there is no danger of over use. Pond Stability® is the culmination of nearly a decade of research and development and represents the current state of the art in natural biological management.
The bacteria used in competing products are inherently unstable. The conditions necessary for their growth and development fall into a very narrow range of temperatures, pH, organic loads, etc. When any of these parameters are not strictly within the proper range, the bacterial culture quickly crashes and dies. Nitrospira bacteria are particularly notorious for being difficult to culture. Pond Stability® does not contain any of the aforementioned bacteria. The bacteria strains in Pond Stability® have been in development for over a decade. The necessary conditions for growth of our bacterial strains encompass a very broad range. When other bacteria begin to die off (usually from high organic loads caused by the undetected death of an organism), Pond Stability® simply works harder and grows faster!

UV Pond Clarifier 15 Watt 12,000 litre pond, 60 litre per minute flow rate.
Control free floating single cell algae and sterilizes the pond water with no side effects to your fish, plants or wild life
A pond with clear water is an attractive feature in your garden, which brings many hours of enjoyment and relaxation. A green pond is unappealing to look at and is difficult to determine whether your fish are diseased or if they have damaged themselves. Algae also pose a threat to your fish as it starves them of essential oxygen they require.
How it works.
An Ultra Zap UV Sterilizer will maintain a clear pond throughout the year without the use of chemicals. The unit works by exposing the phototrophic micro-organisms (free floating single celled algae) to a dose of UV radiation. This destroys and prevents the regrowth of the phototropic micro-organisms.
Safe to use.
Ultra Zap UV units have no side effects on the inhabitants of your pond or environment. If algaecides are used, you have the risk of over-treatment and/or residual chemical build up in your pond. The inhabitants, fish and plants, of your pond are to some degree sensitive to algaecides. With the use of an Ultra Zap unit you stand no risk of this.
Choice of unit.
There are four units available, 8 Watt, 15 watt, 30 watt and 55 watt. The table below provides a guide to which UV unit your pond will require. The use of a quartz sleeve is often recommended with the use of UV units, but for the reduction of algae it is not necessary. Therefore the Ultra Zap Pond unit does not incorporate a quartz sleeve.
UV-C (315-400nm) is often referred to as germicidal wavelength, because of its ability to destroy micro-organisms. The tubes in all of our UV sterilisers emit a wide range of ultraviolet with its most significant part at a wavelength of 253.7nm, which has been found to be the most efficient for germicidal action.

Bio Balls are used for biological filtration. The main advantage of bio balls over other biological media is that the surfaces are impossible to clog up (when used with a pre-filter). The reason is simple: the gabs of space within a bio ball is large and anything that can clog it up would already have been filtered by the pre-filter (such as filter wool, sponge etc). This is the reason why water filtration should always pass through mechanical filtration (pre-filter) before biological filtration.
