NT Labs Filter Bugs

Code: MD143, MD144, MD145

NT Labs Filter Bugs contains live beneficial bacteria to support and maintain biological filtration in ponds.

Ideal for new pond start‑ups or after filter cleaning to help maintain stable water conditions.

Price range: £12.95 through £16.95

Product Description

When to Use: NT Labs Filter Bugs is your go-to solution when establishing a new filter, at the beginning of the pond season in spring, or whenever ammonia or nitrite levels are elevated. This easy-to-use liquid formulation contains a blend of Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter, Nitrospira, and supporting bacterial cultures. These bacteria play a crucial role in repopulating your filter with nitrifying organisms, ensuring efficient biological filtration and maintaining stable water quality.

How to Use:

  1. Test Your Water:
    • Use NT Labs Test Kits to accurately measure your water parameters.
  2. Measure Filter Bugs:
    • Measure out the required amount of Filter Bugs based on your pond’s size.
  3. Add to Biological Media:
    • Directly add the measured Filter Bugs amount to the biological media within the filter.
  4. Switch Off UV Filtration:
    • Switch off UV filtration for at least 24 hours after adding Filter Bugs. This allows the nitrifying bacteria to colonize the filter and the pond.
  5. Recommended Usage:
    • Add Filter Bugs immediately after a substantial water change, pond clean, at the start of the pond season, after using medicinal treatments, or adding new fish. Also, use whenever there’s a detectable concentration of ammonia or nitrite in the water. Filter Bugs can be added once per week or more often if desired.
  6. Compatibility with Pond Salt Plus:
    • Filter Bugs can be used when Pond Salt Plus is present in the water at ‘General Tonic’ and ‘Anti-stress’ levels.

Warning:

  • Ammonia and nitrite are toxic to fish. Ensure concentrations are 0 ppm at all times using NT Labs Test Kits. If dangerous concentrations are present, conduct a partial water change before using Filter Bugs. Identify and resolve the cause of poor water quality to prevent stress to your fish.

Trust NT Labs Filter Bugs for a healthy pond environment and efficient biological filtration. Keep your water quality in check with this reliable solution.
