Beneficial Bacteria


KoiZyme

KoiZyme

KoiZyme - the pro-biotic that effectively prevents Ulcer Disease.  KoiZyme contains no chemicals, no medications and no antibiotics of any kind.
 
It is a proprietary, internationally patented organic preparation of non-pathogenic bacteria, enzymes and micro-nutrients, and it works on the established principle of an accepted scientific process widely known in commercial aquaculture management called Competitive Exclusion.

When used as directed, KoiZyme will reduce the bacterial count of Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and other pathnogenetic bacteria to such low levels that they will not be a threat to the health of our fish.

It is impossible to completely remove the Aeromonas and Pseudomonas bacteria from the pond water, but KoiZyme, when used on a regular weekly basis, will keep the Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and other pathogens levels so low, they will not affect the fish.

Microbe-Lift PL

Microbe-Lift PL

A natural, beneficial, environmentally safe bacteria that is non-pathogenic, non-toxic and non-caustic. Microbe-lift PL creates a healthy environment in your pond and promotes faster fish growth. It improves dissolved oxygen levels and reduces hydrogen sulfide odors.

Microbe-lift PL works in both high and low alkalinity. It metabolizes dead algae and dissolves away organic sludge. It also seeds and maintains biological filters and reduces biological oxygen demand. It has a shelf life of 3-5 years.

Treats a 1,000 gallon pond for two months (a 5,000 gallon pond requires 46 oz. for the same two month period)

Organic Digester

Organic Digester

Organic Digester is designed for use in fish and prawn ponds, lakes and lagoons, where organic odors and organic accumulations are a problem.

Contains naturally occurring bacteria which have been selected and produced for their ability to degrade organic matter and reduce ammonia accumulations through a natural oxidative process.

Organic Digester digests these organics naturally and safely. When added to the pond, Organic Digester creates a biological chain reaction by producing greater and greater quantities of natural bacteria and enzymes.

  • Controls blue green pea soup (Planktonic Algae) water.
  • Helps maintain proper pH and speeds up the natural process of breaking down waste.
  • Helps eliminate offensive odors and off flavor "lasang gilk" of Bangus and Tilapia.
  • Works in fresh or salt water.
  • Safe and beneficial for fish and plants.
  • Dissolves leftover foods, waste matter and other decaying organic matter (sludge).
  • Lowers ammonia, nitrite, hydrogen sulfide and other obnoxious gases

Jump Start Concentrated Nitrifying Bacteria

Jump Start Concentrated Nitrifying Bacteria

New Product for 2008

Jump Start is a professionnal formula of 50% Nitrosomonas and 50% Nitrobacter nitrifying bacteria. Jump Start is excellent for rapid "cycling" in a new bio-filter or re-start of existing bio-filters in Spring or after use of harsh medications. Jump Start does NOT need to be refrigerated during shipping within the U.S. but MUST be kept refrigerated during storage.

Jump Start is manufactured by the makers of KoiZyme and was beta tested for 15 months prior to its 2008 introduction. It was tested by filter manufacters, pond maintenence companies, and many of our dealers here in the U.S.

Available in quarts (treats 1,200 gallons) and gallons (treats 4,800 gallons).

MicrobeLift - Basic Beneficial Bacteria

MicrobeLift - Basic Beneficial BacteriaMICROBE-LIFT/Basic Beneficial Bacteria contains naturally occurring, non-toxic microorganisms. It is safe for all wastewater process systems, humans, lakes, rivers, pets and the environment.

MICROBE-LIFT/Basic Beneficial Bacteria is a spore-based blend of Bacillus species. These aerobic heterotrophs (organic degraders), provide the ability to quickly establish populations necessary for breaking down organic waste from fish, waterfowl, plants and other aquatic life in your pond and aids in quickly establishing a functional population in your pond's filter.

As a result, MICROBE-LIFT/Basic Beneficial Bacteria helps to keep water clean and control build-up of sludge or bottom solids. It also helps to establish denitrification, the biological conversion of nitrate (NO3) to nitrogen gas (N2), which bubbles harmlessly out of your pond reducing the availability of soluble nitrogen, which can stimulate unwanted growth in your pond.

MICROBE-LIFT/Basic Beneficial Bacteria does NOT contain photosynthetic bacteria.

MicrobeLift - CONCENTRATED Basic Beneficial Bacteria

MicrobeLift - CONCENTRATED Basic Beneficial BacteriaMICROBE-LIFT/Concentrated Basic Beneficial Bacteria is a highly active liquid culture consortium designed specifically for use in a wide range of environmental applications. This novel concentrated bio-formulation is designed to provide a reduction in end-user cost of microbial products while meeting the requirements of a highly active bio-formulation.

MICROBE-LIFT/Concentrated Basic Beneficial Bacteria is designed to accelerate the biological oxidation of slow-to-degrade organic matter in aerobic, facultative anaerobic, ponds and lagoons. This novel technology speeds biological oxidation of all organic matter, significantly improving biological performance.

MICROBE-LIFT/Concentrated Basic Beneficial Bacteria cultures will promote an increase in biological degradation in all types of biological water systems, water features and agricultural applications. The cultures increase the degradation rate of organic compounds that have been shown to negatively impact ponds, lakes and lagoons. They resist high concentrations of inhibitory constituents and improve system performance.

Organic Digester Too

Organic Digester Too

Organic Digester Too is a bacterial based product designed to restore balance to the pond environment.

Organic Digester Too cleans ponds by breaking down organic materials that create problems in and around waterfalls, rocks, plant pots, pumps, sides, bottoms and filtration systems. This product is a problem solver. Once the problem has been resolved, it is best to continually use our regular Organic Digester powder or liquid to maintain a good bacterial balance within the pond.

Organic Digester Too is a natural, bacterial product and has been laboratory and field tested on ponds that range from 500 gallons to over 500,000 gallons. In these ponds Organic Digester Too was found to reduce excessive nutrient content that contributes to organic growth and enhanced existing filtration systems.

The six specific enzymes contained in this product will perform the initial work to begin the breakdown of the waste. The enzymes will act as a “saliva” to breakdown the bulk of the waste so the bacteria can perform there function more easily and efficiently. Once the wastes have been consumed the only bi-products that are excreted by the bacteria are harmless carbon dioxide and water.  There are billions of bacteria colonies per gram that work with the enzymes. 

Prior to using Organic Digester Too, these conditions must exist: pH of water maintained between 6.5 & 9.0. Water temperature above 60 F (15 C). Dissolved Oxygen levels above 3 ppm (3 mg/l).

STANDARD APPLICATION RATE:
1/4 Cup Treats 1000 Gallons
1/2 Cup Treats 2000 Gallons
3/4 Cup Treats 3000 Gallons
1 Cup Treats 4000 Gallons

Treat ponds 2-3 times the first week at suggested rates, then 10-14 days thereafter until problem has been resolved. For more severe problems use a double application.)

Application Directions: Apply Organic Digester Too over the surface area or around the perimeter of the pond in DRY form (not mixed with pond water). Be careful not to let product dust plant coverage.  Immediately after application the pond may become cloudy.  This is a normal process and should clear within 24-48 hours.  Allow 3 to 4 weeks for pond to balance.
