Shark Aquatics Koi Fish Pond Montmorillonite Clay Water Clarity Treatment - 2.5kg

For best results, apply Koi Clay every 1-2 weeks, depending on pond conditions and stocking density. More frequent application may be needed in newly established ponds or during warmer months.

Montmorillonite is a type of smectite clay that exhibits high swelling and absorption properties. It is rich in minerals and naturally binds to toxins, making it effective for water purification.

Koi Clay is generally safe for beneficial bacteria populations. Its primary action is physical absorption and mineral exchange, rather than chemical alteration that would typically harm bacteria.

No, Koi Clay is specifically formulated for freshwater koi ponds. It is not suitable for saltwater environments.

Refer to the dosing instructions on the product packaging. Dosage is typically calculated based on the volume of your pond in gallons or liters.

When stored in a cool, dry place, the product has a long shelf life, typically several years, as it is a naturally occurring mineral.

Ensure the correct dosage was used. Excessive amounts can lead to prolonged cloudiness. Check that the clay was thoroughly mixed into a slurry before broadcasting. If problems persist, reduce the dosage in subsequent applications.

Verify the dosage calculation against pond volume. Ensure the clay was evenly distributed. Some ponds with heavy organic load may require multiple applications. Consider if other factors are contributing to cloudiness (e.g., algae bloom).

This is uncommon. Double-check the dosage and ensure it was not over-applied. Ensure adequate aeration in the pond. If stress continues, perform a partial water change.
