Description

THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR PONDS 

In a balanced pond ecology, most types of good pond bacteria develop on their own, but often it is not sufficient to ward off common pond problems such as:

  • Cloudy water
  • Sludge accumulation
  • Bad odour from the slow decomposition of organic waste
  • Low pH level, i.e. increase in water acidity, harmful for fish and good bacteria
  • Depletion of dissolved oxygen levels

THE SOLUTION WITH HYDRA LT EXTREME

Pond keepers should maintain pond balance by adding bacteria in the pond, especially at the beginning of the winter season, when the good bacteria start to die out due to the cold temperature. LT Extreme includes highly concentrated beneficial bacteria (10 billion cfu/gram) that help resolve various water quality problems, including uncontrolled algae growth.

The blend includes a careful selection of different bacteria with various useful actions and qualities:

  • Ability to withstand a wide range of pH level and temperature
  • Ability to double every 20 minutes
  • Ability to digest specific nutrients that cause algae growth and poor water quality

LT Extreme is suitable for use with goldfish as well as koi fish ponds, boundary water courses, zoo ponds, leisure fishing lakes, and ecologically unbalanced ponds. The product gives excellent results in water bodies under intensive aquaculture operations such as livestock holding tanks, commercial fish farms, and angling clubs.

HOW TO USE 

  • Switch off UV lights for 24 hours when first adding LT Extreme Bacteria to the system.
  •  If UV is part of the filter system then remove the fuse for the UV tube.
