NT Labs KH – Buffer Up

£14.95 – £104.65 inc. VAT

NT Labs KH – Buffer Up

NT Labs KH Buffer Up is recommended when there is a need to increase the carbonate hardness (KH) of pond water. Pond fish require a safe and stable pH to maintain optimal health. Over time, as pond water ages and fish waste along with other organic matter accumulates, it can deplete the carbonate hardness (KH) responsible for providing a safe and stable pH. Insufficient KH levels can lead to unstable water quality, a sudden drop in pH, and potential illness in fish.

Dosage Rates:

  • NT Labs KH Buffer Up 1.5kg treats 10200 litres (2250 gallons)
  • NT Labs KH Buffer Up 5kg treats 34000 litres (7500 gallons)

Note:

Regular monitoring of KH levels is advisable to ensure that the carbonate hardness remains within the desired range for the well-being of pond life.
Always follow the recommended dosage and guidelines for optimal results.

NT Labs Propolis Wound Seal

NT Labs Propolis Wound Seal

Treats: Ulcers, open wounds, damaged fins, and Hikui.

When to use? Use Propolis Wound Seal to seal ulcers, damaged fins, open wounds, and Hikui on your fish. It is recommended to clean these areas with Ulcer Swab antiseptic wound cleaner before applying Propolis. The waxy seal formed by Propolis upon contact with water helps prevent pathogens or debris from entering an open wound.

How to use:

  1. Remove your fish from the pond. Optionally, sedate fish with Koi Calm before treatment.
  2. Carefully clean the affected area with Ulcer Swab, ensuring thorough drying of the wound.
  3. Spread Propolis evenly onto the wound and slowly lower the fish back into the water. As the Propolis makes contact with the water, a waxy seal will form.

Always ensure that you have the necessary equipment ready before catching the injured fish, including a container large enough to hold the fish during treatment. Follow the instructions provided for the best results.
