Product Information
Full details
The NT Labs Koi Care Permanganate is an essential treatment for pond owners looking to manage ulcers, parasites, and general bacterial infections in their aquatic environment. Designed for both targeted bath treatments and pond-wide sanitization, it provides a powerful way to reduce pond loading and maintain fish health. While highly effective, users must be diligent about monitoring the water color, as the solution must remain pink to be considered active, and careful dosing is required to avoid stress on pond inhabitants.

FAQs
How do I know if the treatment is still active?
The solution must remain pink in the water. If it turns brown, it has reacted with organic material and is no longer active.
Can I use this with my biological filter?
Use caution, as it is a strong oxidizer and can impact the beneficial bacteria in your biological filter. Many users prefer to isolate fish in a separate bath treatment.
What should I do if I overdose the pond?
You can neutralize the treatment quickly by using NT Labs Koi Care Chlor-Go or a small amount of milk.
Is it safe for all pond life?
While effective for koi, always monitor fish behavior closely during treatment. Consult a specialist if you have sensitive non-koi species or plants.
How often should I use this product?
It should be used as a treatment for specific health issues, not as a routine daily additive. Follow the specific dosage instructions provided with your product.
Troubleshooting
The water turned brown immediately after adding the treatment
This indicates high organic loading in the water. The treatment has been neutralized by organic matter and is no longer effective; you may need to clean the pond before retreating.
Accidental overdose or fish showing signs of distress
Neutralize the water immediately using NT Labs Koi Care Chlor-Go or add a small amount of milk to break down the permanganate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use as a bath treatment, transfer the fish to a clean container filled with pond water and add the required dosage of Permanganate. Monitor the fish constantly during the treatment. For whole-pond applications, calculate the volume of your water carefully before adding the product. Store the container in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and keep it away from children and pets. Always have a neutralizing agent like Chlor-Go or milk on hand before you begin the application as a safety precaution. If you notice your fish showing signs of extreme stress during the treatment, neutralize the water immediately.
