NT Labs Koi Care Filter Bugs is designed for pond owners looking to establish or maintain a robust biological filtration system. By introducing a concentrated blend of essential nitrifying bacteria, this treatment effectively breaks down ammonia and nitrites, ensuring a safe habitat for fish. While it is highly efficient for kick-starting new ponds or recovering from filter maintenance, users should note the requirement to deactivate UV clarifiers during the initial 24-hour application period to prevent bacterial destruction.

Yes, it is completely safe for use with all pond fish.
You must keep the UV clarifier switched off for at least 24 hours after application to allow the bacteria to settle.
Nitrifying bacteria work best in warmer water. Efficiency may decrease significantly in temperatures below 10°C.
Use it when starting a new pond, after cleaning your filter, or if your water quality test shows rising ammonia or nitrite levels.
Yes, the formula is designed to be safe for use alongside Pond Salt Plus.
Check your pond's pH and oxygen levels. Bacteria require stable pH and high oxygen to perform effectively. Also, ensure the UV clarifier remained off for the full 24 hours.
This is often a temporary result of the bacterial bloom. Ensure adequate aeration and wait 48 hours for the colonies to settle into the filter media.
To apply, calculate the required dose based on your pond's volume and pour it directly onto the filter media within the housing. It is critical to turn off your UV clarifier for at least 24 hours after application, as UV light will neutralize the bacteria before they have a chance to colonize the media. For long-term care, store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain the potency of the live cultures. Ensure that no other strong chemical treatments are used concurrently unless specified as compatible, such as Pond Salt Plus.
