Pond Maintenance Scheme
New Pond - Start in Spring
When a new pond is created, we recommend applying
100 g of SeDox for each m3 of pond water (in existing ponds, the dosage is 50
g/m3). This permanently eliminates copper and other metal from the water.
SeDox causes phosphate (e.g. in the water or the
plant soil) to bond completely and be converted to apatite.
This prevents algae from growing quickly, because the nutrients that the algae
need are no longer available. However, the phosphates remain accessible as
nutrients to the other plants in the form of apatite.
SeDox
The phosphate dissolved in
the water bonds to form apatite; 100 % bio-compatibility
Active oxygen due to greatly increased nitrogen decomposition
Better sludge decomposition
Purely mineral, no heavy metals or aluminium
Works for 6 8 weeks
|
To achieve a natural balance between the
individual water parameters, 100 g OptiLake should be applied for each m3 of
water.
OptiLake
Improves water quality and creates an
ideal habitat for the pond population
Increases carbonate hardness and prevents fluctuations in pH-value
Helps to prevent excess heavy metals and ammonia poisoning
Essential when using rain water
|
Then begin the biological process with ClearLake
(water micro-organisms, year round care). ClearLake should be used
only when the water is at least 12 ฐC. The carbonate hardness should always be
at least 5ฐ dH and the pH-value between
7.5 and 8.5! If the values are not within these ranges, the natural balance
should be restored by applying OptiLake.
ClearLake
natural bacteria enhance
and accelerate the biological self-purification process of the water
Limits algae bloom and helps to achieve biological equilibrium
Combats decay and formation of hazardous gas
Activates the biological decomposition of sunken leaves, dead plants,
feed residue, etc.
|
Prevent Blue-green and
other Algae. Conventional algae such as suspended algae (water appears
green) or thread algae do not look nice, but they are relatively harmless.
Blue-green algae (recognized by thick, slimy, shimmering blue-green clumps
floating on the pond surface) on the other hand, can produce hazardous
substances in the water and often trigger allergies, nausea, rashes and asthma!
AlgoClear
Immediate remedy for stubborn algae
formation
Effectively prevents blue-green algae from blooming and reduces new
growth
|
Rule of
thumb: Carbonate hardness never under 5ฐ dH, pH-value never over 9!
If the KH-value is low and the pH-value
fluctuates, or if unsuitable water is used for the pond, we recommend applying
OptiLake to stimulate the microbiological process!
If there is a
problem with algae, AlgoClear/AlgoLon and SeDox should be used again as
described above.
For thorough oxygenation of the water and sediment as well as to prevent germs
and marsh gas (colour and cloudiness),we
recommend applying OxyActive.
OxyActive
oxygen control
Remedies acute oxygen deficiency and
regulates the water's oxygen content
Promotes sustained biological self-purifying capacity
|
For healthy
plants and bright colours,we recommend using AquaFloraEnergen during the entire
vegetation period, particularly in a new pond or when lack of oxygen is severe.
AquaFloraEnergen
- bright colours, healthy plants
Provides vital plant nutrients and prevents lack of nutrients
Strengthens and activates plant growth and makes the blossom colours
brighter
Increases the resistance of plants to external factors
Phosphorous-free |
Mid August or later: ClearLake,
to ensure urea decomposition
AUTUMN/END OF SEASON
To best prepare the pond for the approaching
winter months, we recommend applying SeDox (50 g/m3) in September/
October to bond the phosphate. This will prevent algae bloom, which can happen
even during the winter if there are a
few sunny days. Also, SeDox releases oxygen in the water and benefits the plants
and organisms.
One OptiLake treatment (100 g/m3) should also be administered to stabilize the
biological equilibrium and to break down
hazardous substances (ammonium, nitrite, heavy metals).
ALL YEAR ROUND
| AlgoLon
Destroys excessive filamentous algae with active oxygen. Sprinkle AlgoLonฎ
directly onto the filamentous algae. Use in the morning for best results. |
AQUA-CHECK
- testing like a professional
Always indicates the precise ph-value, KH-value
(carbonate hardness) and nitrite value, regardless of the temperature
Easy to use, with professional measuring instruments
