Water Cleanser 1 kg industrial Block
Water Cleanser

The Water Cleanser 
The Water Cleanser can best be described as a wax-like block to grow bacteria and microbes. If you put it under a strong microscope you will see millions of capillary openings that serve as a home for beneficial bacteria and microbes that provide a healthy water quality. The Water Cleanser also contains all the necessary trace elements for Archaea microbes and Bacillus bacteria.

How does the Water Cleanser work?
Useful bacteria and microbes naturally remove organic waste (uneaten feed, dead plant remains, dead algae, fish excrement, etc.). Influences from outside such as chemicals and fertilizers can disrupt the natural cycle and weaken the existing beneficial bacteria. The Water Cleanser provides a protected habitat with all necessary trace elements so that microbes can multiply optimally. As soon as the microbes have recovered, they will soon break down organic waste.
Archaea microbes prefer to break down organic waste than oil but need hydrocarbon as a source of energy and to multiply. Archaea microbes are present in all forms of water, but are not active until they have a hydrocarbon source. The Water Cleanser is a hydrocarbon catalyst that provides the ideal conditions for these Archaea microbes.

The Water Cleanser has been tested for more than 12 years and has a positive effect on all aquatic life. In addition, the Water Cleanser can also be used in swimming pools, which means fewer chemicals can be used.

Cloverleaf Blanket Answer

Cloverleaf Blanket Answer

Cloverleaf Blanket Answer is a unique blend of minerals and enzymes to combat blanket weed – the nightmare curse of many a pond keeper.

Cloverleaf Blanket Answer works in most temperatures, and seeks to succeed where many commercial bacteria cultures will fail. It is 100% safe for all pond fish, plants, and biological filtration systems. UV units or protein skimmers need not be switched off.

The product is simply added to the pond by sprinkling the powder evenly over the surface (see also note below). The water will initially take on a white milky appearance, but this will clear after about 5 days. The composition of the ingredients will form as a powdery layer on the ponds liner faces, and it is here that the roots of any blanket weed gets attacked. As with most water treatments the pond should have a good level of oxygen saturation, which should exist without generating an undue turbulent situation throughout the pond that would prevent the Cloverleaf Blanket Answer ingredients from settling onto the weed or liner.

During and after applying , common sense should prevail in the washing of hands, and storing the Cloverleaf Blanket Answer in a dry place away from the reach of children. Although no known dangers are thought to exist the application to the pond of any other chemical or treatment should be spaced 10 days from applying the Cloverleaf Blanket Answer.

Cloverleaf Blanket Answer is available in 200g, 800g, 2kg, 4kg and 10kg

Dosage:

  • Each comes with one scoop. 1 level scoop treats 285 litres.

Pond Log
Pond Log-Flocculant/Phosphate Remover

Pond Log-Flocculant/Phosphate Remover

Pond Logs, Mini Pond Logs, and Pond Zingers are designed to work in flowing conditions.  As water moves over and around the log, it slowly dissolves, releasing its components into the water column causing excess inanimate nutrients, such as phosphorous, to bind together.  As they bind together, the particulate gets heavier and heavier and then settles to the bottom of the pond or is filtered out.

It is important to note that Pond Logs do not remove all the inanimate nutrients, just enough to create a healthy ecosystem.  Our pond products typically see a 75-90% reduction of phosphorus. All APS products are safe for fish; no need to monitor pH.

Dosage:

Pond Logs treat 20,000 to 100,000 gallons of water and Pond Zinger treats 500-12,000 gallons of water.

JPD Mud Booster Clay

JPD Mud Booster Clay

JPD mud booster clay is a very high quality clay which contains over 85% of pure Montmorillonite, considerably higher than other leading brands. Not only does it have such a high purity level, this clay is mined in Japan. One of only a few clays on the Koi market that originates from the home of Koi. The clay is mined in the Yasawagi Mountains, Akita district of Japan which is also home to the famous “Refresh Powder” clay also known as the white magic powder.

JPD mud booster clay consists of 67 minerals that includes 16 essential minerals such as silicic acid, aluminium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron and more. The unique structure is made up of crystal layers that are a nanometre thick. As a result, there is a huge surface area of 750 m2 per gram. This surface area allows great absorption of toxins, and binding of organic substances. As these substances are absorbed and flocculated by the clay, the filter is far more efficient at removing these substances from the water. The powder is very fine, making it extremely easy to dissolve. Once fully dissolved in the pond, you’ll achieve crystal clear water that looks bright and alive.

Refresh Powder
Refresh Powder

Refresh Powder “The Magic White Soil” is a clay mineral from the Yasawagi district in Akita prefecture, Japan. Those who live in the district used to take this clay as a secret medicine for diarrhea, injury, toothache etc. They call the clay “marvelous soil” or “magic white soil.” Refresh Powder is a wonderful gift from the earth, which can not be produced artificially.

These effective minerals keep water clean and help to supply nutrition dissolving slowly into the water through ion exchanges for excessive materials and bad materials for Koi. These natural workings are necessary elements to keep Koi healthy and improve their color.

Refresh Powder “The Magic White Clay” is a natural clay mineral, found in limited areas in Yasawagi district, in Akita prefecture, Japan. Local villagers who live in this district used this clay personally as a herbal medicine to heal wounds, fight off diarrhoea, toothache and etc. The clay became known as marvellous soil or magic white soil. The efficacy of this white soil is really quite remarkable. Refresh Powder is a wonderful gift from Mother Nature, coming directly from the soil and virtually impossible to reproduce artificially.

It has been proven over the ages, that by dissolving Refresh Powder into the water, the same high quality of life can be reproduced, remaining consistent for a very long time for the benefit of many creatures which inhabit the waters.

Exactly, what is Refresh Powder

Refresh Powder is a mineral composed of Montmorillonite in it’s core and sixteen other necessary minerals such as silicic acid, aluminium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and iron etc surrounding the core. Collectively, these effective minerals keep the water clean and further help to supply good nutrition, dissolving slowly into the water through an ion exchange system and in the same process lowering the levels of less welcome compounds also dissolving into the water, such as decaying organic materials thus minimising the spread of bacterial diseases.

Refresh Powder is pure natural Montmorillonite and this white clay belongs to a useful group of minerals. If it is mixed with other natural or artificial products certain qualities of the mineral are lost as the balance has now been disturbed. When Koi are bred or raised in waters containing this natural product, the clarity of colours and quality of skin is unsurpassed. When Koi are deprived of this source in lakes lacking in Montmorillonite or man made concrete ponds, colours quickly deteriorate.

Some studies of lakes containing natural clay bottoms clearly reveal that colour and skin quality is more stabilised and defined in such circumstances. This clearly adds weight to the fact that the best ponds usually arise from those with clay bottoms. However, when that clay is of the Montmorillonite source then the visible results from the fish are outstanding. Other clay and stone minerals cannot reproduce the same qualities to that of Refresh Powder natural clay . . . no matter what you are told.

Refresh Powder actually improves water quality and restricts the increase of decaying organic material raising levels of bacterial diseases, thus maintaining our Koi in a much more healthy environment.

So there are valuable options open to us when we keep Koi in concrete or liner ponds. By regular use of Refresh Powder clay in our ponds, we can simulate the same qualities of water found in natural lakes. Essential growth and health is maintained with the presence of natural minerals always being plentiful. The fear of overdosing Refresh Powder in a Koi pond is impossible and regular doses on a weekly basis is highly recommended to achieve maximum efficiency

Refresh Powder is used for improving the white skin and strong colours particularly red and black (sumi). Refresh is also a fantastic way in improving the water quality if used on a regular basis. Water treated with Refresh actually adds a sparkle and improved clarity to the water. Full of minerals and essential vitamins for growth and healthy Koi.

Dosage: 100grams per 1000gallons weekly you may want to double the dose during the first two weeks

NT Labs Acriflavin
NT Labs Acriflavin

NT Labs Acriflavin

NT Labs Acriflavin is a treatment for bacterial ailments such as fin-rot and ulcers in Koi ponds or quarantine tanks. NT Labs Koi Care Acriflavin is best used in conjunction with NT Labs Ulcer-Swab and Wound Seal in the treatment of ulcers and other open wounds.

All ponds will contain billions of minute bacteria. These include helpful species that breakdown the toxic fish waste in the biological filter system, and convert it into nitrate, which is then taken up by the plants. However, there are also other bacteria that live in the pond that are opportunistic invaders of stressed and wounded fish, including the species Pseudomonas and Aeromonas which will infect any cut or abrasion on the surface of the fish, and can also invade the host across the gut wall during gastro-intestinal problems.

When added to the pond, NT Labs Acriflavin will reduce the numbers of these opportunistic bacteria in the pond, thus lowering not only the chance of infection, but also the intensity of disease in already infected ponds. Acriflavin is ideal to use in hospital or quarantine tanks, but it is unwise to constantly add the treatment to the pond when the fish are healthy. This is because a background level of bacteria is essential for healthy fish to maintain their immune system.

Dosage Rates:

  •  NT Labs Acriflavin 250ml – Treats 9000 litres / 2000 gallons
  • NT Labs Acriflavin 500ml – Treats 18000 litres / 4000 gallons
  •  NT Labs Acriflavin 1 Litre – Treats 36000 litres / 8000 gallons

Instructions for use:

  • Switch off UV until all the colour of the treatment has gone from your pond.
  • Wait 10 days after the final dose before treating with any other pond medication.
  • If you feel that a repeat dose is necessary, check your diagnosis carefully, a different medication may be more suitable.
  • Do not treat with water temperatures below 10 degrees or over 30 degrees.
  • Remove any Carbon or Zeolite from the filter or pond.
  • Top up your filter with live bacteria as treatments damages filter bacteria

Using a fresh cotton bud apply Kusuri Anti-Bac to the wound. Pay careful attention to work the solution around any damaged scales, avoiding disturbance to the good scales. Allow to dry and using a clean cotton bud apply a second application.

Kusuri 8-Piece Topical Treatment Kit

Kusuri 8-Piece Topical Treatment Kit is a complete easy to use kit,  for the beginner and experienced fish keeper. For treating Ulcers, wounds and Fin Rot.

General pond medications may solve parasitic infestations but are seldom effective against physical Ulcers, wounds, Fin Rot. Treating the fish topically will be more effective and potentially life saving!

Treating wounds on fish can be just as stressful for the owner as much as the fish! There can be nothing more upsetting than an ulcer on a Koi. This kit is designed to give you a pretty good chance at repairing the damage! One or two questions you must ask yourself, is this an isolated “one off” wound or ulcer? Do other Koi show signs of ulcers? If so please, be quite sure your water quality is good. Most ulcers that break out , and fail to heal naturally, are normally a result of an underlying water quality issue. Poor water quality will severely delay any healing process especially if Ammonia or Nitrite are high.

The secret to successful treatment is to catch the problem early and do something about it. Only in exceptional circumstances will a Koi have the ability to heal without treatment. The 8-Piece Topical Treatment Kit can be used at any temperature at any time of the year, though it must be pointed out the Koi will heal quicker if the water temperature is above 15°C.

All kit components are replaceable, so you need never run short of any particular item. If there is one thing you should keep at home for your Koi this is it! This kit contains chemicals and should be stored away from children & pets.

Please ensure that you read, understand and follow, all Health and Safety guidelines on the bottle.

Please do not eat, drink or smoke whilst handling chemicals.
