Problem
                                                                                            
Most pond and lake bacteria cease working at temperatures below 50* - 55*F. During the autumn and winter there is extreme nutrient loading in the pond as trees and plants in and around the pond are dropping organic material into the pond very often the water remains green and cloudy over winter. 
Or by the Spring the water is saturated by so much excessive nutrients which are just waiting for sunlight to either turn your water green or produce blanket weed.
Hydra LT EXTREME BACTERIA (psychropilic bacteria) are specially blended and tested to product maximum results during colder temperatures.
.
Features & Benefits
  • Specially blended microbes for cold water in the early spring and autumn and winter.
  • These are highly effective at accelerating the digestion of this organic material at the bottom of the pond.
  • Excellent at reducing ammonia, nitrites, and excess nutrients that would otherwise cause poor water clarity.    
  • This fast acting live bacterial culture, boosts the waters natural nitrifying bacteria.
  • Digests harmful ammonia converting it to nitrite then harmless nitrate.
  • Digests excess nutrients that would otherwise cause poor water quality and clarity.
  • Ideal to boost natural bacteria during Autumn and Winter when most bacteria die off. 
  • Helps maintain a balanced water eco system free from algae and blanket weed.
  • Reduces fish lethal ammonia levels. 
  • Breaks down and recovers organic material (accelerates the natural process).
  • Can be added direct to filter or to pond.
  • Produces maximum results but still safe for fish and plants.
  • Out-competes Algae for nutrients required for their growth.      
  • Effective in both salt and fresh water.
Used By 
  • Large koi and gold fish ponds.  Decorative fish ponds.
  • Zoo ponds and boundary water courses.
  • Leisure fishing lakes and ponds that have become ecologically unbalanced.
  • Intensive aquaculture operations like fish farms, angling clubs etc.
  • Commercial fish farms for example eel, trout, tilapia and catfish producers. 
  • Salt water shellfish cultivars and net pen systems. 
  • Hatcheries for higher survival rates. 
  • Live stock holding tanks. 
How To Use
