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.

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!

Pond HealthGuardâ„¢ is a safe disinfectant to promote the control of parasitic, bacterial, fungal, and viral infestations of fish in ponds. It contains no malachite green or other dye based disinfectants that can discolor or quaternary disinfectants that foam. Used as directed, it is safe for fish, plants, and the biological filter. A 2 Liter size treats over 4,000 gallons.

Pond pH Buffer™ is designed to raise pH and buffer decorative ponds without the use of phosphates. It is ideal for use with planted ponds containing koi, goldfish, or other pond fish. It is not eutrophic and will not promote algae growth. It is particularly useful in raising the pH in liner ponds. Buffers between 7.2 and 8.2, but preferentially around 7.4–7.6.

Pond Clarigenâ„¢ is the ultimate clarifier for ponds. It employs an advanced polymeric flocculating agent that is pond safe. Pond Clarigenâ„¢ is the only clarifier on the market that does it all! Pond Clarigenâ„¢ will clear all types of clouding. Many companies manufacture multiple products to clear up each type of cloudiness. Some companies have developed products that will clear most types of cloudiness, but their application requires two separate bottles of product. Pond Clarigenâ„¢ contains compounds that will clear all types of cloudiness in all environments. Pond Clarigenâ„¢ contains both precipitating and flocculating agents in the same bottle, enabling all types of cloudiness to be removed in one dose.
