JPD Mud Booster
JPD Mud Booster is a very high quality clay which contains over 85% of pure Montmorillonite, considerably higher than other leading brands. Not only does it have such a high purity level, this clay is mined in Japan. One of only a few clays on the Koi market that originates from the home of Koi, being mined in the Yasawagi Mountains, Akita district of Japan which is also home to the famous "Refresh Powder" clay also known as the white magic powder. JPD Mud Booster consists of 67 minerals that includes 16 essential minerals such as silicic acid, aluminium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron and more. The unique structure is made up of crystal layers that are a nanometer thick. As a result, there is a huge surface area of 750 m2 per gram. This surface area allows great absorption of toxins, and binding of organic substances. As these substances are absorbed and flocculated by the clay, the filter is far more efficient at removing these substances from the water. The powder is very fine, making it extremely easy to dissolve and this helps achieve crystal clear water that looks bright and alive. Dose 30 - 50gm per 1000 gallons per week. Cannot be overdosed

Aqua Balance
Aqua balance is a natural blend of minerals designed to stabilise the pond pH level and increase/stabilse the temporary hardness KH (Alkilinity) of pond water.
Aqua balance is a blend of minerals, not a chemical. Aqua balance is ideal for use in low alkaline soft water conditions as extremely low levels of hardness are also known to be detrimental to Koi health because Koi cannot osmo-regulate easily in very soft water. Aqua balance will stabilize pH and prevent dangerous swings. Using Aqua balance can increase KH and pH in a very short period, and once the desired level is achieved very small maintenance doses should only be required.
Use Aqua balance as a KH regulator - 25 grams per 1000 gallons of water per day until desired KH is reached. Repeat whenever required.

Oase Biokick Premium
Oase Biokick Premium is a highly concentrated filter bacteria culture designed for heavily stocked pond systems in order to kick start and maintain a normal and healthy filter biomass.
Normal biological filter activity means culturing and maintaining a healthy bacterial population of Nitosommonas and Nitro bacter bacteria in the filter system. Under normal circumstances it can take up to one year to mature a pond eco system and mature a filter system.
Biokick Premium is designed to reduce the maturation time significantly and enable heavy stocking much more quickly than would normally be advised.
| Pack Size | Price | |
| 4 x 50ml ampoules | £19.95 |
Biokick Premium is prepared with highly concentrated auto trophic bacteria strains combined with enzymes , which is truly innovative. Biokick Premium maintains its incredible bacterial density for many years. A partioned ecosystem in the medical glass ampoules makes this possible. One ampoule contains approx. 1 billion bacteria and is sufficient for 2000 gallons of pond water (10,000 litres) Overdosing accelerates the maturation period.
Microbe Lift
We are distributors of the world renowned Microbe lift products from Eco Laboratories in the USA. These naturally cultured products all contain different blends of aerobic bacteria, photosynthetic bacteria (those that use light as a source of energy), anaerobic bacteria and chemosynthetic organisms. Eco laboratories are the only company that have been able to culture these products, in house, and largely in the containers they are sold in. This is because the organisms only grow synergistically, representing a virtual ecosystem in a bottle. These cultures coexist and flourish, and this is the way they work in your pond - together, and this is also why the products have massive shelf lives - up to 5 years. As they are all cultures of naturally occurring forms of micro-organisms, they cannot be overdosed, are all completely safe to use with all pond fish and plants, and importantly they can be used together, if required, as they are not chemicals. Most importantly, these products are not only among the very best of their types on the market, but they are super value for money when compared with (claimed) competing products and added to the long shelf life are frankly simply light years ahead of other products in this market. .

| 1 Litre | £29.95 |
Microbe Lift pH Adjuster
Microbe lift pH adjuster (up or down) counters pH swings caused by acid rain and other environmental factors. The pH level of the pond water affects the pH of our Koi's blood and Koi are very sensitive to sudden changes in the pH level of their environment. It is therefore vitally important to monitor and prevent rapid changes in pH levels, especially if you have relatively soft water, which is more prone to pH swings.
1 Litre treats around 2,500 - 4000 gallons, depending on the pH level
- Formulated in de-ionised water

Microbe Lift Thera P
Microbe lift TheraP is a non-chemical probiotic product and will reduce the population of pathogenic bacteria in the pond environment by rapidly removing their food source by decomposition. The added major benefit of any truly probiotic product, is that it also boosts the immune system of pond fish.
Added to these two important benefits, Thera P also speeds up and enables more rapid healing of skin and tissue damage after either a physical injury or as a result of damage caused by ulceration. This avoids the need in most cases for catching the affected fish to treat individually and we have found the results after using Thera P to be consistently very good.
| Pack Size | Price | |
| 1 Litre | £24.95 | |
| 4 Litre | £65.50 |
It also directly helps to break down toxic Ammonia and Nitrite , and therefore assists with the maturation of the pond filter. It speeds up the decomposition of sludge and other organic materials in the pond which can otherwise provide a breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria. Thera P is a culture of aerobic, facultative anerobes, plus photosynthetic and chemosynthetic organisms and is in fact a complete pond eco system in a bottle!
1 Litre treats 20,000 litres or 4400 gallons, 4 Litre treats 80,000 litres or 17,000 gallons. Cannot be overdosed
Microbe Lift Phosphate remover
The ultimate remedy in phosphate removal for fresh water. Use Microbe-Lift / Phosphate Remover for starting up a new pond. This guarantees low phosphate concentrations. To clear the pond from phosphate successfully, use Phosphate Remover regularly in new or existing “mature” ponds. MICROBE-LIFT/POND PHOSPHATE REMOVER is a polymeric blend with outstanding qualities, including the ability to tie-up large quantities of phosphate without negatively influencing the pond water in any way. Phosphate- caused by the decomposition of organic substances such as food surpluses, dead plant matter, and excretion. Although phosphate is a vital part, it is only damaging in higher concentrations. A phosphate concentration increase could lead to water quality problems. To solve problems caused by phosphate, it is recommended to keep the phosphate concentration in fresh water below 0.3 mg/ltr. Will not harm fish or plants.

Pond Zinger Phosphate remover
The Pond Zinger™ is a pond clarification product designed and formulated for all types of fresh water systems and ponds. It is made of safe, non toxic, polymers and safely removes algae from ponds by removing phosphates, creating a healthy ecosystem with clean, clear, water, where aquatic life can thrive. The Pond Zinger™ slowly dissolves, releasing its components into the pond where excess nutrients, such as Phosphorous, bind together and settle out. The result is improved pond water quality in terms of clarity, reduced phosphates and algae, odour control, decreased suspended solids, and metal discoloration removal. Further sediments can be removed by the bacterial action of Microbe Lift Clean & Clear! Independent studies have shown that the PONDZINGER™ can remove up to 75-85% phosphorus from ponds! Once the water is clean, any remaining Pond Zinger™ can be removed from the pond, dried, and then stored away from sunlight until it is needed again. The pond should remain clean for the season, unless more phosphorous enters it. There are 2 versions available for different water volumes: Pond Zinger: up to 45.000 liters, (10,000 gallons) Mini Pond Log: to 400,000 liters. (88,000 gallons}.

The Water Cleanser
The Water Cleanser (TWC) is best described as a microbiological culture pad. Under a powerful microscope, it is full of millions of microscopic capillaries. These microscopic capillaries provide the ultimate home for all the required beneficial bacteria and microbes that maintain the health of water. TWC also provides the required trace elements for the microbes to thrive and function to their optimal levels whilst also providing the breeding trace elements for Archaea microbes and Bacillus bacteria (see "Archaea"). Beneficial bacteria and microbes naturally break down and process organic waste (excess food, plant matter, dying algae, fish faeces, etc.) in water systems. The Water Cleanser (TWC) provides a protective habitat with the required trace elements that allow the microbes to breed and multiply at their optimal rate. Once the microbes are re-established in the water system, they can then consume the organic waste at an accelerated rate, leaving the water cleaner and healthier, and requiring less maintenance. Archaea microbes break down organic waste but need hydrocarbon as an energy source to multiply. The Water Cleanser is a hydrocarbon catalyst that creates the perfect conditions for these microbes to multiply at a phenominal rate.
| Pack Size | Price | |
| TWC 200gm | £23.95 | |
| TWC 1kg block | £99.85 | |
Place The Water Cleanser in an area where the water flow is strongest, such as the filter outlet, waterfall or similar. Where multiple blocks are being used, ensure that they are evenly spaced. Depending on existing water quality, full effects can be seen within 4-10 weeks. For Koi Ponds the 200gm block treats around 1000 gallons or 10 sq. meters of surface area. The 1kg Standard block treats up to 100 sq. meters of surface area. For cloudy or stagnant water, dosage can be increased. Replace every 6 months, leaving the old product in place for a one week overlap.
LithAqua
Lithaqua is calcified seaweed high in trace elements and carbonates which has a massive surface area and can be used in its own right as a calcium rich biological filter media. It also has many mineral properties which will enhance the mineral content of the pond water. In particular Lithaqua is used for raising and stabilising the KH , or carbonate hardness of the water so is especially useful in soft water areas. , as well as stabilizing pH
