Nitrates indicates a build-up of fish waste and organic compounds
Nitrate Test Kit
aquarium Pharmaceuticals
Nitrates indicates a build-up of fish waste and organic compounds
Measures nitrate levels in both fresh & saltwater aquariums. Tests nitrate levels from 0 to 160 ppm. 90 tests per kit.

The Science of Nitrate

Nitrate (NO3-) is produced in the aquarium by the beneficial bacteria in the biological filter, which convert toxic ammonia and nitrite into nitrate. Some tap water sources also contain nitrate. Nitrate is not considered toxic to freshwater tropical fish. Some fish breeders and collectors of sensitive species, however, are concerned with nitrate build-up because a high nitrate level indicates a build-up of fish waste and organic compounds, resulting in poor water quality and contributing to the likelihood of fish disease

The level of nitrate acceptable to fish and invertebrates is a subject of much debate. All agree that "lower is better". A nitrate level of 40 ppm (mg/L) or less is recommended for freshwater aquariums. Many marine aquarists prefer to keep nitrate levels as low as possible, especially when keeping invertebrates.

Partial water changes reduce nitrates. Other rechargeable filtration material is also available.

A non-toxic exzymatic pond cleaner containing three types of enzyme-producing bacteria, which break down pond sludge and waste.
Pond Zyme Pond Cleaner
A non-toxic exzymatic pond cleaner containing three types of enzyme-producing bacteria, which break down pond sludge and waste.
Pond-Zyme Plus is a heavy-duty pond cleaner, containing five specially selected bacterial strains in a stable dry form. Pond-Zyme Plus breaks down fish waste and dead algae that can cause cloudy water, sludge build-up, and debris that clogs pumps and filters. Organic matter accumulates in all garden ponds producing a build-up of sludge and causing cloudy water. The five strains of bacteria in Pond-Zyme Plus digest sludge into harmless minerals and water, visibly improving water clarity and quality. Pond-Zyme Plus helps pond filters stay cleaner longer, reduces pond maintenance and keeps pond water clean and clear.
  • Dissolves away hard-to-clean waste and breaks down fish waste, uneaten food, and dead algae and vegetation that accumulate in the pond.
  • Helps maintain good water quality to minimize stress to fish and plants.
  • Use whenever setting up or cleaning a pond and preparing pond for seasonal change.
  • 3.7 oz treats 4500 US gallons.
  • Safe for all pond fish, plants, and wildlife

The Science of Sludge

Sludge is the mucky debris that settles on the bottom of the pond. It is made up of decaying fish waste, dead plant material, dead algae, and leaves and twigs. As it decomposes, it creates toxic ammonia and releases toxic gasses into the water habitat, endangering fish and plant life.

Sludge-removers are particularly helpful if you have used an algae-killing product or you have lots of organic debris built up over the season.

Effectively controls "green water" algae blooms and blanketweed.
Pondcare Algaefix Pond Algae Control
Effectively controls "green water" algae blooms and blanketweed.

Algae growth can appear as "green water" blooms, filamentous algae on plants, floating algae mats and algae growth as waterfalls.

Pond owners' number one problem has been algae of various types. Previously all algaecides were non-selective and killed or damaged most plants in the pond along with the algae. Pondcare Algaefix is our number 1 seller by far. It effectively controls many types of green or green water algae, string or hair algae and blanketweed in ponds that contain live plants. Controls existing algae and helps resolve additional algae blooms. Keeps ornamental ponds and water gardens clean & clear.

Pondcare Algaefix can be used in ponds with plants! It is not a bacterial product but an EPA registered herbicide control.

  • Pondcare Algaefix works in temepratures above 32 degrees F.
  • Used as directed, Algaefix is safe for all fish and wildlife including birds or other animals that might drink from the pond.
  • Recomended for routine use as a preventative or can be used to treat ponds that already have an algae problem.

    If high levels of algae exist, be prepared to siphon out dead filamentous algae (see Ultivac ). It is also highly recommended that you combine Pondcare Algaefix with EcoFix to quickly break down the accumulated dead algae and debris that results from algae die-off. High quantities of dead algae can be damaging if not removed and broken down quickly to prevent toxic ammonia build-up.

    All sizes can now be shipped to New York.

    None can be sold to Canada or United Kingdom

    To use: Add 1 teaspoonful of PondCare AlgaeFix for every 50 gallons of pond/ fountain water. Repeat dose every 3 days until algae is controlled.
    Active Ingredients:
    ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:Poly [Oxyethlene (dimethyliminio) ethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene dichloride]: 4.50%

    Lowers the pH of pond water without promoting algae growth.
    Ph Down & Ph Up Adjuster For Ponds - Aquarium Pharmaceuticals
    Lowers the pH of pond water without promoting algae growth.
    Contains no algae-promoting phosphate.

    pH UP slowly raises the pH of pond water (making it more alkaline) without harming delicate pond fish or aquatic plants. Slowly neutralizes acid substances that cause low pH (pH of pond water is affected by mineral leaching, soil runoff & decomposing waste). A low pH can stress pond fish & suppress the activity of the biological filter.

    pH DOWN slowly lowers the pH of pond water (making it more acidic) without harming delicate pond fish or aquatic plants. Slowly neutralizes alkaline substances that cause high pH. A high pH limits the ability of aquatic plants to absorb necessary nutrients.

  • Directions for pH UP: 2 teasponful (5 ml) per 50 US Gallons. 16 oz treats approx 2400 US Gallons
  • Directions for pH DOWN: 1 teasponful (5 ml) per 50 US Gallons. 16 oz treats approx 4800 US Gallons

    Nitrite is toxic to fish
    Freshwater Nitirite Test Kit
    aquarium Pharmaceuticals
    Nitrite is toxic to fish
    Toxic nitrite is produced by nitrifying bacteria in the biological filter as it breaks down ammonia. This kit tests for harmful nitrite and measures levels from 0 to 5.0 ppm.

    The Science of Nitrite

    High levels of nitrite quickly lead to fish death. Even trace amounts of nitrite stress fish, suppressing their immune system and, thereby, increase the likelihood of disease and subsequent fish loss.

    Nitrite is produced by the biological filter. Beneficial bacteria in the biological filter convert toxic ammonia into toxic Nitrite (NO2-). The biological filter then converts nitrite into less-toxic nitrate (NO3-). If not removed, nitrite will prevent fish from carrying on normal respiration.

    In a new freshwater aquarium, the nitrite level may surge to 10 ppm (mg/L) or more, and then fall rapidly as the biological filter becomes established. The nitrite will be converted to nitrate. This process may take several weeks. In an established aquarium, the nitrite level should always remain at 0 ppm (mg/L). The presence of nitrite indicates possible over-feeding, too many fish, or inadequate biological filtration

    For testing pH in Marine & African Cichlid tanks.
    Freshwater / Saltwater High Range Ph Test Kit
    aquarium Pharmaceuticals
    For testing pH in Marine & African Cichlid tanks.
    Use to measure pH changes in marine aquariums, aquariums with African cichlids, and very alkaline tap water. Reads the pH of water within the high range of 7.4 to 8.8. 160 tests per kit.

    The Science of pH

    pH is critical for both tropical and marine fish. Marine fish and African Cichlids both require a higher pH than most tropical fish (usually about 8.2 or so) to simulate their natural environment. However, pH of this range allows ammonia to become toxic, so be sure to keep a close watch on that parameter as well.
