ENZYME
What are ENZYMES?
ENZYMEs are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in cells. They perform a number of functions and are vital for life and efficient functioning of the Koi’s body, including metabolism, digestion and the immune system.
Aqua Balance ENZYME is a complex cocktail of enzymes that are absorbed by the koi via the mucous membranes, replenishing the missing enzymes.
What does Aqua Balance ENZYME do?
Each Sphere can help to convert nutrients into energy, strengthen the immune system and also aid digestion and accelerate wound healing. It will repair enzymes in the digestive system, enabling efficient processing of vitamins and minerals. Poor water quality, medications, stress, infections and genetics can all lead to enzyme damage. Aqua Balance ENZYME can repair and restore the missing enzymes for a healthier koi!
When and How to use Aqua Balance ENZYME
Empty the contents of the tub directly into the pond. One tub treats 4,400 gallons. Repeat dose every 4-8 weeks.
Use after adding medication, increased feeding, adding new koi, rainfall, or any situation which can cause stress to your Koi..
Use with Aqua Balance REMEDY to significantly accelerate healing.
Aqua Balance ENZYME is a completely natural product and contains no chemicals.
Do not swallow. Wash hands after use. UVC can be left on.

Envirex
£16.95 – £71.95
Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageEnvirex
£16.95 – £71.95
Envirex was created to make ponds far more hygienic and less chance of disease developing in the fish. Envirex degrades all types of solid waste matter whilst lowering ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and phosphate and other unwanted substances in pond water. The product can help to reduce the amount of filter cleaning, pond vacuuming and general maintenance. Envirex is a natural product and cannot kill blanket weed or algae like a chemical but it can inhibit its growth but this requires regular use.
Assessing the dose: All benefits of Envirex are seen with regular use and this is safe as it is non chemical. Customising the dose level to suit individual ponds allows for economic control. The amount required is directly related to the volume of fish stocked and the food they consume not the gallonage and this is why the dose level can be adjusted by the user as ponds vary greatly. If the fish create more waste one week due to heavy feeding use Envirex two or three times that week and then revert to normal use the following week . Instructions for first use: Envirex should be mixed with water to a milky consistency before introduction into pond or the filter.
When first using Envirex 80 grams per 1,000 gallons to a new pond or 40 grams per 1,000 gallons to a mature pond and wait a few days for settlement.
Regular applications: After settlement commence weekly use. The average pond with a low stocking density needs 5 grams per 1,000 gallons every 4-7 days to control unwanted substances and solids. However overstocked ponds or those with water quality problems may need 15-20 grams per 1,000 gallons adapt to individual needs. Envirex is natural and harmless overdose is impossible. The product can be used all year round but if discontinued for winter re-seeds the pond with the first application dose again in spring. There is no need to switch off ultra violet sterilisers when using Envirex and the product does not interfere with any pond medication. -

Aqua Source GH / KH Buffer
£8.95 – £19.95
Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageAqua Source GH / KH Buffer
£8.95 – £19.95
Aqua Source GH / KH Combined Buffer.
The only combined Buffer for KH / GH on the market.
GH (dissolved minerals) level between 8° – 12° is required for fish to grow and their general health
KH (carbonate hardness) level above 5° is desirable to prevent pH fluctuations and crash.What is GH?
GH is a measurement for the total quantity of dissolved minerals in the pond water. Fish need these for growth and general health. Ideally, the level should be between 8°-12° dGH (German degrees °dGH).
General hardness can also be measured in ppm (parts per million). Water above 200 ppm is considered to be hard and is high in calcium and magnesium. Water between 50 & 100 ppm is considered to be soft and low in the minerals.
To convert °dGH to ppm multiply °dGH x 17.9.
Use Aqua Source GH /KH Buffer to raise your levels to the desired 8° – 12° or 143.2 – 214.8 ppm, this will ensure your fish have adequate minerals for growth and good health.
What is KH?
KH ia a measurement for the carbonate hardness in the water. This is critical for a stable pH. When KH is too low, the pH can fluctuate and even crash, causing serious issues for the fish. A KH above 5° (°dKH German degrees).
Ponds with low levels of KH are subject to rapid shifts in pH and this can be catastrophic for your Koi.
The level of carbonate hardness in your pond is determined by the source water and the treatment process’s it has undergone. Other factors determining the level include water change routine and if your pond is covered for the winter period. The use of plastic media in filters such as K1 can also consume carbonate hardness and this needs replenishing. As part of your pond husbandry routine levels of GH / KH should be checked regularly along with pH values.
Acid rain can lower the pH and sunlight can deplete the GH. Aqua Source GH / KH Buffer will stabalise the water and maintain the balance in the pond, when used as recommended. 1Kg will increase the KH by 2° and the GH by 4°, 1 Kg will treat 10,000 litres.
Directions: Mix the contents in a bucket of pond water and spread evenly into the pond. Repeat dose as necessary. This product will cloud the water for a few days.
