Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals

Will help maintain a healthy pond environment and reduce the threat of parasitic disease in pond water.

Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals added to your pond water can be effective in helping to maintain a healthy fish environment and, in proper dosages, has proven to be helpful in reducing the threat of parasitic infestations in the pond.

Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals will temporarily block the toxic effects of nitrite , and by initiating the production of a thicker slime coat on the fish's body surface, helps to promote a stronger immune system and reduce stress.

Caution - Do not overdose. When adding salt to ponds that contain aquatic plants, be especially careful in monitoring salt concentration as salt can be a toxic effect on certain plants. Before adding salt to your pond, remove any zeolite products being used.

Directions - Salt will not evaporate from your pond. After testing your pond water with a hydrometer, you can add salt with your regular water changes. We recommend mixing salt and pond water in a bucket, and then spreading the slurry around the perimeter of your pond. Be careful to avoid direct contact with pond plants.

DOSAGE:

Small Ponds: ½ (120g) per 10 gal. (38L) of pond water.
Large Ponds: 5 cups (1.13 kg) per 100 gal. (378L) of pond water.

For Stress Reduction - Use Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt For Quarantine Tanks containing added electrolytes and Allantoin, which accelerates wound and fin healing.

Jungle introduces pond salt with a "kick." Salt has always been proven to help fight fish disease and reduce stress. Now you can get a salt that does even more! Jungle Fortified Pond Salts also has minerals, electrolytes and allantoin.

Allantoin is one of the natural compounds found in the herb, comfrey root. It benefits both fish and aquatic plants:

• promotes wound healing
• speeds cell and tissue growth
• encourages the healthy, natural processes of fish and plants
• protects irritated skin and tissue

With the added benefit of allantoin, which promotes wound healing, tissue repair, and cell regeneration, Fortified Pond Salts protects fish from minor cuts, scrapes and burns, reducing exposure to bacterial infection. Fortified Pond Salts stimulates the fish's slime coat which acts as a natural protective defense against bacteria and parasites. It also reduces the effects of elevated nitrite levels (toxic to Koi and Goldfish), a condition often associated with newly set up ponds, overcrowding and overfeeding.

As a treatment, Fortified Pond Salts can be used to remove many external protozoal fish parasites (trichodina, chilodinella, ichthyobodo, epistylis) and fungal infections when used as a salt dip.
