Polluted pond water is effectively cleansed & pond odour disappears encouraging flora & fauna to reappear & thrive. Aquaplancton is ideal for removal of blanket weed, green water, algae, smelly sludge, slime, silt & will also stop pond filters getting clogged.
Acquaplancton is not harmful to fish & safe for use around pets. Easy to apply, simply sprinkle across the surface of the pond
- approx. 450g per square metre of pond surface.
Benefits of Acquaplanction:-
Pond Odour Disappears - Stench is caused by rotting algae & putrid organic matter. Aquaplancton causes the odour to disappear by stimulating the beneficial aerobic bacteria which then consume the rotting matter. Spreading Aquaplancton stabilises the water acidity to p H values favourable to aquatic life.
Fish Thrive on the Increased Oxygen - Fish can survive for a certain length of time in polluted water, but when it is left in a murky state, light is prevented from penetrating to the plant life on the bottom. These essential plants then stop producing oxygen & die. The decaying plants then give off carbon dioxide. If polluted water is left untreated fish will eventually die. By stimulating the oxygen producing aerobic bacteria, Aquaplancton can increase oxygen levels by up to 20%.
Murky Waters Become Clear / Flora & Fauna Reappear
- Aquaplancton brings clearly visible results. Water is spectacularly transformed from turbid to transparent. Sun gets through, photosynthesis accelerates, producing oxygen vital for aquatic life. The bottom becomes visible, recovers its original permeability, oxygenating plants reappear, & the invertebrate fauna base of the food chain is revived.
Safe For Pets
- Aquaplancton is a specially processed, highly porous mineral of planktonic origin. It comes in powder form & is spread over the surface of the water at any time of year. It is not a harmful substance & is used successfully with fish all the time. It won’t harm ducks, plants or any form of water life & it is perfectly safe for pets to drink from treated water.
How Does It Work?
- Aquaplanctonbrings about mineralisation. When the micro-organisms, which normally digest organic matter become inactive, mud accumulates, causing algae & blanketweed to thrive on the over nutrition. Aquaplancton reactivates these beneficial bacteria which then multiply & consume the mud. This starves algae & blanketweed of nutrition, causing them to die out naturally. Good bacteria, working well, can consume up to 15cm (6”) of mud in 6 months.
