Chloramine Buster Removes Chlorine from Tap Water in a Koi Pond
Chloramine Buster
Chloramine Buster is a specially developed triple action compound that has the capability to separate the chlorine/ ammonia molecule from the ammonia molecule and render the chlorine harmless, while at the same time reduce the free ammonia to safe levels for aquatic life. (.025 or less)
In established ponds Chloramine Buster may also be used to reduce ammonia where levels are high or toxic, whether or not chloramines or chlorine is in the water.
One thing that every pond owner should do is to add beneficial bacteria and enzyme products, to their pond on a regular basis. Not only is this good for the overall pond quality it reduces odors, improves the health of the fish, reduces the amount of sludge in the pond, and reduces the algae. If your problem is green water then you can use Clear Pond BSL. Another method that is very effective for algae control is the Dry Formula. These help the bio-filter operate more efficiently.
Filamentous algae have many algae cells attached together. It comes in many forms, it can be long and stringy, it can be short and furry or in the shape of webs or mats. The short velvet type of algae that covers the liner and everything else in the pond is beneficial. It helps provide a natural appearance to the pond. It uses nutrients from the water, provides oxygen during the day, and the fish nibble on it. This type of algae cannot be totally eliminated with fish and plants in the pond. String algae, which may coat the waterfall, is a little harder to control. You can physically remove it from the pond where possible. Filamentous type algae will flourish on waterfalls and in shallow streams because the sunlight is more intense providing more heat and light than what may be in other parts of the pond and there is a constant supply of nutrients flowing through it.
We carry other products that will control algae during the time that your pond is maturing. Quick Fix is probably the most effective. Regular Barley Straw and Lavender Barley are also effective for most ponds. Pond Dye shades the water, which limits the amount of sunlight feeding the algae. We carry Pond Shade, this is a cost-effective solution in large ponds and lakes, but it can be used in any pond.
Remember that fish , Koi and fish food add nutrients to the pond, which in turn feed algae. Dont add more fish than your pond and filter will support and dont over feed your fish.
