pH BUFFER
Crystal Clear pH Buffer

Crystal Clear pH Buffer will help to prevent wide pH swings which are very common in ornamental ponds from dawn to dusk due to respiration and photosynthesis. All ponds are affected by pH. alkalinity or acidity will determine whether the pH is high or low, respectively. In order to maintain pH at a constant, buffering of the system is required. This means controlling the alkalinity of the water. Alkalinity is the capacity of a natural water system to resist change in pH and is measured in terms of bicarbonate and carbonate ions available in the system. Alkalinity is also very important in the ntirification process to convert ammonia to nitrite and nitrite to nitrate. Alkalinity and oxygen are the two rate limiting factors in the nitrification process. A properly buffered system resists change in pH due to acid rain and other external factors. It is essential for ornamental ponds to maintain a buffering capacity of 80-240 PPM for pH stabilization. CrystalClear® Buffer will increase pH stability and increase buffering capacities.

pH SALTS UP
Crystal Clear pH Salts Up CrystalClear® pH Salts Up will raise the pH of pond water to within safe levels. It is recommended to be used only when the pH of a pond is lower than 6.0. It is important to note that pH is typically lowest at dawn and higher at dusk. Fish respiration lowers the pH and photosynthesis raises the pH so it is very important to test your pond pH at the same time each day. Adjust pH at 0.2 points per day. A drastic change in pH may cause stress or even death in ornamental fish. Before using CrystalClear® pH Salts Up, test the pH of the water first with CrystalClear® Test Strips. This should give a good indication of your pH level before you apply CrystalClear® pH Salts Up. As most people are aware, high pH is an indication of high concentrations of alkalinity in water and low pH is an indication of high acid concentrations in water. In order to raise pH an application of an alkaline substance such as, CrystalClear® pH Salts Up which is sodium carbonate monohydrate is needed. Once CrystalClear® pH Salts Up (sodium carbonate monohydrate) is added to the water it will increase the amount of hydroxide ions in the water. This product works well for the pond enthusiast because it is simple to use, it won’t harm fish or plants and it works slowly and uses a simple process so as to cut down on user over-application. Used correctly CrystalClear® pH Salts Up will safely raise pH and is safe for fish and aquatic plants. Unlike many pH products, CrystalClear® pH Salts Up is phosphate and nitrate free.

pH SALTS DOWN (PHUSION)



CrystalClear® pH Salts Down (pHUSION) will safely and efficiently lower the pH of an ornamental pond within safe ranges (6.5-9.0). If your water is hard or alkaline, a higher dose of CrystalClear® pH Salts Down may be required. Before using CrystalClear® pH Salts Down, make sure the alkalinity (carbonate concentration or buffering capacity) of your water is about 80 ppm. We suggest buffering the alkalinity with CrystalClear® Buffer. It is also a good idea to test the water's pH first with CrystalClear® Test Strips. If the pH is about 8.5-9.0 apply CrystalClear® pH Salts Down. Most ornamental fish can adjust to a pH within 1 or 2 points from neutral (7.0), but it is very important to make pH changes gradually if fish are present. If possible, adjust pH before adding fish.

BIOLOGICAL CLARIFIER
CrystalClear Bacterial Clarifier liquid
CrystalClear Biological Clarifier quickly pulls harmful nutrients and wastes out from your pond. These nutrients and wastes usually include organic material, fish wastes, dead plant life, leaves and many other organic materials. When left untreated, these waste materials provide an optimal environment for bacteria growth. The six enzymes contained in this product will perform the initial work to begin the breakdown of the waste. The enzymes will act 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.

Crystal Clear Biological Clarifier is an all natural, premium bacteria and enzyme product designed to remove green water and sludge and to seed biological filters. Once applied it will immediately begin to multiply and work to remove harmful decaying sludge that has accumulated from years of fish waster, dead plants, leaves and many other organic materials. Most naturally occurring bacteria found in ponds cannot keep up with the constant load of organics entering the pond. Therefore, it is often necessary to inoculate ponds with bacteria and enzyme supplements to ensure clear, healthy water. Once the harmful organics and nutrients have been consumed, the by-product excreted by the bacteria is harmless carbon dioxide. It is always a good idea to treat ponds weekly with CrystalClear Biological Clarifier Dry to ensure that a healthy colony of bacteria remain on the filter and in the pond. Fortified with billions of bacteria and a strong enzyme family, CrystalClear Biological Clarifier Dry will supply ample colonies of bacteria to help clear green water and sludge.

NITRIFIER

CrystalClear Nitrifier

CrystalClear Nitrifier an all-natural bacteria and enzyme based product specifically designed to remove ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. CrystalClear Nitrifier contains special bacteria that will safely convert ammonia to nitrite and nitrite to nitrate via a process known as nitrification. Once this process is complete toxic ammonia has been converted to harmless nitrate which will be utilized by aquatic plants.

Ammonia is extremely toxic in its un-ionized form and non-toxic in its ionized form. This can be controlled by keeping pond water at low pH levels. At low pH levels ammonia will ionize and at levels higher than 7.2 ammonia begins to un-ionize and becomes more and more toxic. Ammonia at high levels will burn the surface of fish scales and gills, thereby stressing the fish to the point of death.

This serious dilemma can be diverted by simply applying CrystalClear Nitrifier on a weekly basis to either the filter or the entire surface area of the pond. In extreme cases the application of CrystalClear Nitrifier may need to be increased.

A beneficial Bacteria used to keep pond water clear and free of ammonia in smaller ponds, can also be used in cases of ammonia spikes that occur in the spring when the filter systems are not up to speed coming out of the cold weather.

POND TUNE UP AUTUMN/WINTER
microbe lift fall/winter

In closing the pond, cleanliness is paramount.  Your first job is to make sure the fish won’t be sleeping in muck, leaves, or sludge.  That’s where the parasites and bad-guy bacteria are and we don’t want our fish in there with them.  Parasites will be active at lower temperatures than the fish, so your prized pets will be at their mercy unless you do something about it.  If you kept a pretty clean pond all summer, that’s great.  But fall brings autumn leaves and autumn leaves find their way into our ponds.  Leaves don’t break down at the same rate as other organic waste produced by the fish, so they will need a little “helping hand”.  That’s where the water soluble cellulase-enzyme packets come in… just throw them into the water, after the leaves have begun to fall in your area, and the enzyme will accelerate breakdown of the leaves by the cold weather bacteria.  Did I say cold weather bacteria?  Oh, yes, the bottle in the Microbe-Lift/Autumn Winter Prep (AWP) is cold weather bacteria.  It isn’t dependent upon temperatures above 55F, like most other bacteria are.  It also doesn’t care if it is under a layer of ice and snow.  It works through the winter months in the north and it works just as well in the south.  For a cleaner pond next spring, use AWP this fall and winter. Specialty Formulated for  Winterization.


Microbe Lift Autumn/Winter Prep is a 2-part program engineered to provide you with the an effective method of winter maintenance for your water gardens.

  • Will continue to provide sustained biological activity in water temperatures under 55°F.(12°C.)
  • Helps to jump-start your pond to a healthier environment in the spring
  • Helps to maintain a healthy immune system for your fish during the winter months.
  • Reduces buildup of dead leaves and organic sediment all winter long

Each box contains 1 quart of Microbe Lift Autumn/Winter Prep and (2) 2oz water soluble packets containing cellulase producing bacteria and a cold weather bacteria. For best results, use 4 applications, one month apart. Start your winter maintenance program in early fall. This will give the bacteria and cellulase enzyme sufficient time to acclimate themselves before the winter freeze.

pH LOWER
Fritz pH Lower

The safe and easy way to balance pH. Unlike competitive products that use phosphate buffers, Fritz pH Lower will not cause cloudy water or contribute to bacteria blooms. Did you know that for every 0.1 increase in pH above 7.0, ammonia toxicity increases tenfold? It’s true; fish are much more effected by ammonia and nitrites at higher pH levels. For best results, test water weekly using a Fritz pH Test Kit. If pH is 7.3 or higher, add two capfuls per 50 gallons of pond water. Wait 20 minutes; retest. Re-treat until pH is at the ideal level. Never drop pH more than 0.2 units per 12 hours if fish are present. Hard water (normally untreatable with similar products) may require several dosages.

  • The first phosphate-free pH Lower for ponds
  • Decreases and stabilizes pH and alkalinity; increases acidity; prevents pH bounce

pH HIGHER
Fritz pH Higher

Few pond hobbyists worry enough about low pH, but as the pond ages, pH naturally falls to dangerous levels. This is caused by acid produced by the breakdown of organic material. As pH falls, nitrifying bacteria living in the bio-filter stop multiplying and eventually die off. The result is severe water quality problems, fish stress, cloudy water, odor and fish loss. The pond slowly acidifies and sulfur-like smells ensue. Fritz Pond pH Higher combats this deadly downward spiral by increasing the pH & alkalinity. Test pH once per week. If the pH falls below 6.8, add 2 capfuls of Pond PH Higher per 50 gallons. Wait 20 minutes; retest pond. Retreat until pH is 7.0-7.6. Never increase pH if ammonia is present.

  • Phosphate free; Won’t cloud water or harm fish, plants or wildlife
