Pond Water Treatments » Strata Intl.

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

Organic Digester contains huge amounts of 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 has multiple strains of beneficial bacteria, including Nitrobacter and Nitrosomonas.

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. This is the most concentrated product on the market.

Organic Digester Powder System is unique in today's bio-remediation marketplace because of the quick-to-life process once water is added. 

This fast acting process ensures that the System will keep on working long after most products have failed. With a simple maintenance dosage of the product in direct ratio to newly added waste, the System controls the organics long term and degrades and reduces the waste and sludge itself.

One pound (0.45 kg) treats 60,000 gallons (228,000 liters) on a maintenance basis

One 12 oz jar treats 50,000 gallons (190,000 liters) on a maintenance basis

"Maintenance Basis" means once the initial few treatments are done and the pond has obtained a decent water quality, clarity and consistency.

Simply mix the powder with pond water in a bucket and then immediately apply to the pond.  No hydration is necessary.  This product cannot be overdosed!  Use as much as you would like.

 Most ponds should be treated weekly during the warm weather months. Always retreat after a rain!  Rain will produce phosphate in the water!

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 unsightly 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:

(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 (it should touch the problem where ever possible) or around the perimeter of the pond in DRY form (not mixed with pond water).  Be careful not to let the 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.  If you have a problem in the water itself, mix the Organic Digester Too into a paste (with a small amount of pond water) and let it drop on top of where the growth is.

1 spoon (13 grams) treats 275 gallons (1040 liters)

7 spoons treats1875 gallons (7097 liters)

Shelf life is three years. 

Rapidly seeds pond and aquarium bio-filters. Also, quickly reduces dangerous ammonia and nitrite levels.  Usually works within 48 to 72 hours!

Used extensively by SeaWorld!   Always keep AWT-1 refrigerated!  We produce special blends specifically for salt and fresh water.  AWT-1 is produced when ordered to insure the greatest bacterial viability and longest shelf life.   The usual shelf life when refrigerated is three to six months.

AWT-1 is a blend of Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter, and Nitrospira bacteria.  The way it works is: 

Ammonia is converted to Nitrite by Nitrosomonas species.  Nitrite is converted to Nitrate by Nitrobacter/Nitrospira species.  After the tank or pond has cycled, pristine water quality can be maintained with periodic treatments using our Organic Digester.

DOSAGE
1 quart treats approximately 2500 gallons (9463 liters).  If counts are still high after 24 hours, add as required to reduce to desired level.  If starting a pond, double this dosage - 64 oz (2 quarts - 1920 ml) per 2500 gallons.

The fastest and most thorough way to rid yourself of your worst pond problem.  Reduces organic growth around waterfalls, streams, pond plant boxes, rocks, etc.  

Non toxic to fish. 

This unique powder formula reduces maintenance by using oxygen to clean your pond.  This product must touch the problem in order to remove it.  Usually works within 45 minutes to an hour!!

Very economical to use. 

Use Pond Problems Gone and then follow-up with Organic Digester Too.  Finally, use our Organic Digester to reduce the dead organics in the water itself.

A specific blend of concentrated microbes that promotes healthy Koi by eliminating conditions necessary to develop “Hole in the Side Disease.”

KOI KURE is a specific blend of naturally occurring bacteria & enzymes, designed to work in water that is infected with Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and other pathogenic bacteria.   Koi Kure compares favorably, both price and quality wise, to any similar product on the market.

KOI KURE competes with the pathogens for the nutrients. KOI KURE basically digests these nutrients, thus starving the Aeromonas and Pseudomonas. When properly applied, the levels in the water are eventually so low that they have no effect on the health of the fish.

Nothing can completely remove the Aeromonas and Pseudomonas from the water.  But, regular applications of the KOI KURE will keep the Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and other pathogens at such diminished levels that they will have very little effect.

Koi are dying by the thousands per year because of Ulcer Disease.  Chemicals or antibiotics of course will work, but no one wants to apply them to the pond water.  It is better to prevent the disease by using our natural KOI KURE.

DOSAGE:

Shelf life is one year.

A Unique Natural Fish Food Dietary Supplement

APB-DS™contains natural beneficial bacteria which enhances digestion for a more healthy and vibrant fish.  It increases food utilization and supports a healthy immune function. 

APB-DS™works to assist food digestion, similar to eating yogurt for a human.  It can be sprayed onto any fish food.  The fish actually come to prefer the food once the APB-DS™ is sprayed on it.  APB-DS™acts like a vitamin for fish.  Some fish, over a few months period, have actually had growth increases after contiually digesting the food misted with theAPB-DS™ .  Over time,  APB-DS™usually lowers food intake and the resultant waste.

Organic Digester Too is also sold in 1 pound water soluble packets.  Apply, directly in the water, where the heaviest concentration of organic growth are.

STRATA’S CLAY FOR KOI

The highest quality Koi in the world is raised in mud bottom clay ponds. The top Koi breeders in the world add fresh clay to their ponds to replace the minerals and trace elements needed to raise these beautiful fish. Leading Koi experts agree that the clay that contains the most essential minerals and trace elements is bentonite/montmorillonite clay.

CLAY FOR KOI is 100% bentonite clay, a naturally occurring calcium bentonite clay, obtained from one of the few existing bentonite mines in the world. It is purchased directly from the mine and is processed to a consistency required by Strata. Nothing is added. Except for the refinement process, the clay and minerals are as it was found in nature. It dissolves readily and is ideally suited for Koi ponds; especially those with the new micro bio-filtration units.

CLAY FOR KOI contains minerals in their natural colloidal form. These minerals are easily assimilated by Koi and goldfish and enhance the production of enzymes. This is done either by ingesting it naturally or by mixing it with their food.

CLAY FOR KOI aids with the digestion and the elimination of toxins from the bodies of the Koi.  Thus, the water is subjected to less waste production from your fish, improving water quality. CLAY FOR KOI also improves the water by aiding in the removal of toxins from the pond, thereby, benefiting your fish, plants and bacteria living in your bio-filters. CLAY FOR KOI attracts toxins such as pesticides, heavy metals and free radicals as a magnet does and absorbs them. This added weight sinks the clay to the bottom of the pond where it can easily be removed by your bottom drain or vacuumed manually.

You will notice the improvement of both the water quality and the skin of your Koi and goldfish within a few short weeks. The colors will be more vivid, whites brighter and their vigor and appetites will increase. If added to your garden, potting or aquatic soil, CLAY FOR KOI will add the necessary minerals usually lacking thus improving the plants’ vigor and its resistance to disease.

DOSAGE

For the first two weeks add one tablespoon of CLAY FOR KOI for each 500 gallons (1900 liters) every two days.

After two weeks, one tablespoon per 500 gallons (1900 liters) once or twice a week is sufficient. The recommended procedure is to dissolve CLAY FOR KOI in a bucket of pond water and distribute it evenly around the pond.
