Special attention has been given to larger dose in vitamins. Both vitamin C and E have an important role in the reproductive cycle of the fish and functions as a anti-oxidant. Besides the added vitamins the protein and energy percentages have also been increased. In addition, natural attractants were added to the koi feeds which greatly promote the appetite of your fish Minimum order-ing quantity per box.The basic philosophy of our Private Label food is concise:GOOD FOOD, INEXPENSIVENow available in 5 litre containersBASIC FISHFOOD HIGH QUALITY BASIC FOOD FOR COLDWATERFISH code 821A mix of 4 different pellets, high-quality basic food for all Carp-like fish (e.g. Koi, Carp, Comet, Goldfish).Minimum ordering quantity per box.Average analysis: Crude protein: 32,3%, crude fat: 4%, fibres: 4,5%, ash: 5,6%.TYPE ARTNR.

Carp feed based on Wheat germ is evidently ideal to give the necessary energy for the Winter. Particularly because fish do not grow in the Winter months but do need to have some energy in order to keep up the necessary bodily functions. In addition Wheat Germ is rich in Vitamin E which inhibits the oils and fats in the pellets going rancid. This makes them more easily storable during the Winter months without fear of deterioration. Our Wheat-Germ pellet contains 5% wheat Germ. Minimum ordering quantity per box.

VATPRO-IMMUNE FLOATING KOIFOOD FOR A BETTER IMMUNE SYSTEM code 821Beside the raw materials necessary to make a complete basic feed, extra glucans were added to this pellet. Glucans are sugar components extracted from the cell wall of Yeasts (bakers' yeast and brewers' yeast) and from some types of fungi (among other things the famous Shiitake). The bond of these sugar components ensures direct activation of the immune system in fish against all invaders, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. In addition a generally more effective working of the immune system will be noticed in the long term. Considering the propensity to viral infections in the spring and autumn and the danger of bacterial infections on warm summer days, it is recommended to feed the fish Pro-Immune regularly almost throughout the year in order to keep the immune system activated.

A high Spirulina content is necessary both for the health and colour formation of Koi, carp and other ornamental fish with coloured scales. We have increased the rich range of natural carotenes which can be gleaned from pure Spirulina with additional pigment which allow the contrasting colours in the fish to become deeper and more intense. Because of the natural origin of the pigments the colouring of the white scales is avoided.

GBP BOXSpirulina 5 ltr container (±2 kg) medium pellets (6mm) SF831 11,50 12GROWTH & COLOR FLOATING KOIFOOD code 821Growth & Color was specifically conceived to allow koi to regain their natural colours quickly. Because of the well balanced concentrations of astaxanthine (80 ppm) and capsanthine (90 ppm), a vibrant colour will be achieved while avoiding the colouring of the white scales of your koi. This will result in a koi rich in contrast. Astaxanthine is a natural pigment and is responsible for the pink to reddish hue in i.e. koi, salmon, shrimp and flamingos. Astaxanthine is a carotenoid (like ß-carotene found in carrots) en related to vitamin A. As such, astaxanthine is a strong antioxidant and has functions akin to vitamin E (protection from the harmful influence of UV light). Capsanthine is also a carotenoid but it does not appear in the animal kingdom. It is the colouring pigment which is abundantly found in red paprika (sweet pepper). As it gives rise to a darker red colour, capsanthine is often used as a source of complementary colours for the light red derived from astaxanthine. The high protein content and the use of premium class fishmeal results in a tasty food which is very easily to digest. Furthermore, because of the high protein content, this colour food is also an excellent growth food which will allow young koi to quickly gain colour and thus to perform a first segregation earlier than otherwise feasible.

The digestion of fats is less efficient with older sturgeon (from 25-30 cm) so that the bigger sturgeons can suffer from liver damage if they are given a too high energy content feed for too long. Therefore the composition of the Sturgeon pellet differs significantly from that of starter pellets. From international publications it has appeared that the relationship of approximately 48% high quality protein compared to 10% fish oil (fats) makes an ideal nutritional pattern for sturgeon in its last growth phase.

These processes cause the declining of the oxygen in the water, which causes a lot of stress among the fish. Stress declines growth of the fish and makes them vulnerable to diseases. By using Oxypond the water quality clearly improves. Thanks to Oxypond the water exceeds in oxygen, which improves the life quality the fish demand. At the same time the colour and clearness of the water improves and becomes pure. Furthermore Oxypond fights blanket weed in a biological way.Add Oxypond directly into the water or onto the blanket weed. Do not exceed the advised dose. Important: Do not use if the pH-values exceed ph 8,6. Treatment is allowed to be repeated after 3 days.DOSAGE: 1000 gms Oxypond is enough for the treatment of approximately 20-50m³ water. The normal dosage of Oxypond is 30gms/m³ water. The allowed dosage can not exceed 50gms/m³. Small dosages of 10gms/m³ are suited to improve the oxygen level during fish transport. In soft water (carbonate hardness CH < 3º dH, total hardness dH < 6º dH) a lower dosage is sufficient, unless prior to the Oxypond, the water is treated with a product to increase the alkalinity, like Kusuri Bio Balance or AquaForte Bio Stabil. When used for the first time, dead leaves and other material can rise to the surface, because of the released oxygen.TYPE ARTNR.

This in comparison with other nitrate resins, which are known for years in the aquarium world. Operation: the nitrate ions are exchanged against harmless chloride ions. Advantages of this resin against conventional resins for nitrate removers:1) High capacity, even at high sulfate concentrations.2) Amount of sulfate ions in the water remain at the same level.3) No significant change in the pH value.4) Easy to regenerate with NaCl (table salt).Dosage: 1 Litre resin can remove 30 g/l nitrate. The resin can easily be regenerated with NaCl (200 gms of table salt per litre of resin) if the resin is saturated with nitrate. An example on nitrate production: 10 kilos of fish wet weight, 0,1 kilos food dry weight each day (based on food with a 50% protein content) produces 8 gr. of TAN (Total Ammonia Nitrogen) dry weight per day. In a aerobic biological filter 1 gms of Ammonia converts 3,3 gr. of Nitrite, which converts to 4,4 gr. Nitrate. Multiplied by the 8 gr. of Ammonia, mentioned above, we have 35,2 gr. Nitrate per 100 gr. of food. Please note: actual figures will depend on type of filter and filter media and water quality. Application: fill a mesh bag with nitrate resin and then place the bag in the biological filter so that the water passes through it completely or put it in a separate filter house and let the water run through it in a by-pass with a flow of ± 5000 litres/hour. The lifespan of the resin is about 15 years but by means of organic pollution of the porous resin the actual lifespan will be around 5 years. The lifespan can be extended by regenerating the resin once a year in a hot saltwater solution (50°C). bead size 0,4 - 0,6mm TYPE ARTNR.

VATMATURING A PONDWhen a pond's ecosystem is mature and balanced, the water is usually clear and healthy for aquatic life. This maturation process is a function of the microbiological and chemical properties of the water. MICROBE-LIFT Barley Straw LIQUID & DRY formulations help to mature the pond with natural chemicals just as a pure mountain stream matures through the years by the introduction of natural breakdown products from trees, plants, etc. These natural breakdown products often include humic and fulvic acid and organic acids that have a natural ability to sequester, or tie up, inorganic compounds, so their concentrations in the pond don't get to levels that would unbalance the ponds ecosystem. These substances can also lead to natural purification of the pond through a slow release of hydrogen peroxide as they react with sunlight. The hydrogen peroxide is produced at levels that help purify the water while not having any adverse effects on desirable aquatic life. The sequestering, in conjunction with microbiological cycling, provides a stable natural ecosystem in your pond.

VATMarch 2012NoPhos AFC ACTIVE FLOC CATALYST REMOVES PHOSPHATE code 364- Clears water. - Removes phosphate.- Reduces algae.- Improves performance of AFM & sandfilters (see page 6-25).NoPhos has a positive charge and acts both as a Flocculent and as a phosphate precipitating agent.NoPhos is based on a rare earth element Lanthanum which has a 3+ charge, it is a very effective flocculent and as such it will bring micron and sub-micron particles in suspension together to make them much larger, thereby allowing the filters to remove very fine solids. AFM filter media works synergistically with NoPhos because it has a high surface -ve Zeta potential. In effect the NoPhos places a positive charge on the particles and AFM removes the small particles by electrical attraction. In addition, if too much NoPhos is used, the AFM will adsorb the NoPhos and allow it to react and help to remove solids while attached to the AFM.NoPhos also reacts with soluble reactive phosphate to form and insoluble precipitate, the reaction is stoichiometric: NoPhos + PO4-³ = NoPhos PO4 (s). By carefully controlling the phosphate level you can control the growth of plants and algae. If an aquarium has a high turbidity caused by algae, then NoPhos can be used to reduce the phosphate food source and gradually over a period of a few weeks reduce the algae levels. Phosphate is also required by bacteria, so if a large dose of NoPhos is used then bacteria will also be prevented from growing. In an aquarium system this is not desired because the biological filter would fail and the corals would suffer. However in Aquatic Parks where there are no fish or aquatic life, by over dosing with NoPhos you can virtually eliminate bacterial growth. The net result is very clean clear water, with a very low oxidation or chlorine demand, indeed on some systems we no longer need to use chlorine.For best results NoPhos should always be used in combination with AFM pressure filters. AFM (Active Filter Media) carries a surface negative charge, when NoPhos is used in combination with AFM filter media a high percentage of the catalyst not reacted with the phosphate will combine with the AFM enhancing the surface active properties of AFM. The NoPhos is then free to react with phosphate to form insoluble phosphate in the filter bed which is then removed on the next back-flush. 1kg of NoPhos will remove approximately 100gms of Phosphate as PO4 -P (or 300 gms as PO4).AFM and NoPhos catalytic oxidation reactions Any NoPhos on the surface of AFM filtration media will be available for the catalytic oxidation of organics in the presence of oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, ozone or chlorine. This technique can be used for the cracking organics and will mimic an ozonation system. The combination of AFM and NoPhos will remove colloidal solids, phosphates and decolourise the water. The systems will reduce the need or may eliminate the requirement to use ozone, UV or advanced oxidation systems. Lakes & Ponds Measure the phosphate level as PO4-P, (e.g. 0.5mg/l), estimate total volume of water (e.g. 100m³) determine weight of phosphate (0.5 x 100 = 50 gms). You will need 50 x 0,2 litre of NoPhos = 1 litre. Add the NoPhos over a period of at least 4 weeks, by dissolving in water and using a watering can or dosing pump add a small quantity every day or every few days over the surface of the pond. Thereafter you should use a maintenance dose of approximately 10% = 0,1 litre per week. Important Note..... in some cases the phosphate level will be zero, this is because the algae have used all of the available phosphorous. In these situations you need to make an estimate as to the level of phosphate, and 0.5mg/l is a reasonable estimate. The lake or pond is then dosed on the basis that the free phosphate level is 0.5mg/l It is important to monitor the phosphate level on a regular basis to make sure that the phosphate level is kept under control because as the algae start to starve and die, it will release phosphate. The NoPhos will prevent the phosphate being made available to the algae, so after a period of a few weeks the algae will gradually disappear. TYPE ARTNR.

VATBACTERIAL PRODUCTSMICROBE-LIFT BACTERIAL PRODUCTSWHILE ALL MEN MAY BE CREATED EQUAL, ALL BACTERIA ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL.…Many people ask, ”How is MICROBE-LIFT Clean & Clear different from other biological products for my pond?”. Well, there are a number of important differences that make MICROBE-LIFT Clean & Clear superior to other bacterial products. Here are some examples: 1. MICROBE-LIFT Clean & Clear has photosynthetic bacteria which can be very beneficial in balancing the ecology of a pond. They can use the sunlight as a source of energy, taking some of the load off of the aerobic heterotrophs. This is why our product has it’s characteristic purple/red colour. We do not add food coloring or other type of pigments to the product. Like all photosynthetic organisms, photosynthetic bacteria need a pigmented material to absorb the sunlight. In green plants, this pigmented material is chlorophyll which is responsible for the green colour in plants. The pigmented materials in the photosynthetic bacteria are called carotenoids, which gives them the purple/red colour. When we start to grow our product, the media is clear. After a few days of exposure to sunlight it turns the purple/red colour as if by magic when the bacteria synthesize this natural pigment. When some of our competition hear that customers and dealers feel the photosynthetic bacteria are beneficial they claim they have them too. Unfortunately, this is impossible since most of these products are clear. Since light just passes through a clear liquid, how can it contain photosynthetic bacteria? It simply can’t.2. Ecological Laboratories, Inc. is the basic manufacturer of MICROBE-LIFT. Many other companies do not produce their own bacteria and their products are “stock products” mass produced by large culture manufacturers, sold for any number of applications and packaged under a variety of labels. Most of these products contain only aerobic heterotrophs and facultative anaerobes. While these may provide some benefit in a pond environment it cannot balance the eco- system the way MICROBE-LIFT’s consortium of aerobic heterotrophs, facultative anaerobes plus photosynthetic, anaerobic and chemosynthetic organisms can.3. MICROBE-LIFT Clean & Clear is grown in the container in which it is sold. This is because the organisms grow synergistically. It is a virtual “ecosystem in a bottle”. They are grown together because that’s the way they have to work in your pond – together. Most products from the mass producers of bacteria are grown as individual strains in large tanks or in tray fermentors if they are dry products. Then they are blended before packaging with very little knowledge of how they will interact in the pond environment or any environment for that matter. 4. MICROBE-LIFT Clean & Clear is so versatile that it will do many things that would require the addition of three or four of another company’s products. While the price of MICROBE-LIFT Clean & Clear may be a little higher than some competitive products by the time you add the various products you have to add to get the same results as MICROBE-LIFT Clean & Clear you might spend three to four times what you would spend to use MICROBE-LIFT Clean & Clear to achieve the same results.5. And, if you want to keep it simple - do what the most successful salesman for one of our best dealers does when asked why he recommends MICROBE-LIFT Clean & Clear. All he tells his customers when they ask him what MICROBE-LIFT Clean & Clear can do for their pond is “it cuts your pond maintenance in half”. Simple, but very effective - and true.THE MOST OFTEN ASKED QUESTIONS: Ecological Laboratories produces a product which is the equivalent of an “ecosystem in a bottle” with all the necessary organisms required to fill in gaps in the lakes ecosystem which have resulted from environmental stresses. The bacteria are fully functional once the product is added to the pond or lagoon without having to “germinate” like spore based products. What makes Microbe-Lift® products work so well?Microbe-Lift® products like Clean & Clear and Super Start have a full complement of photosynthetic, aerobic, facultative anaerobic, anaerobic, and chemosynthetic organisms which address all the common problems encountered in pond maintenance including high ammonia and nitrite, undigested organics, algae blooms, organic sediment build-up and foul odours. Why does the product smell like rotten eggs?The smell is attributable to the natural production of hydrogen sulphide by sulphate reducing bacteria as part of the ecosystem. This provides a source of energy for the purple sulphur bacteria in the product and as a metabolic inhibitor preserves the product giving it it’s long shelf life. Can Microbe-Lift Clean & Clear be diluted with water before use?No. Microbe-Lift products should be shaken and used as it is.If I have a biological filter, how do I apply the Microbe-Lift product?Apply it directly to the pond. The organisms will establish a bio-film on the filter media as they circulate through it in the pond water.What will Microbe-Lift do for my pond?It reduces ammonia and nitrite levels, reduces noxious odours caused by urine, faecal matter, algae, overfeeding, etc., reduces hydrogen sulphide odours, improves dissolved oxygen, breaks down algae, reduces build-up of bird droppings. Do the microbes need special conditions in the pond in order to work?Microbe-Lift products can’t be used with pesticides or algaecides. For best result switch of UV, ozone and/or protein skimmers for 2-3 days. What is the shelf life of Microbe-Lift products?Approximately 3-5 years. Nite Out II has a shelf life of 18 months. Can I use Microbe-Lift in the winter months?Microbe-Lift will be successful if used under the layer of ice, even if it freezes in the container, it will thaw out and be effective when used.4 - 21KOIFOOD - WATERTREATMENT - BACTERIA BACTERIAL PRODUCTSRetail prices excl.

Like most types of mechanical/biological filters, bead filters rely on the use of a media that provides a high surface area/volume ratio. This allows for support of the necessary amount of biomass, in the form of a biofilm, to properly remove organic and inorganic waste from the water. Within the biofilm it is possible to carry out aerobic, facultative anaerobic, anaerobic and chemosynthetic processes. Microbe-Lift® Super Start contains all these bacteria capable of carrying out all of the necessary processes for optimum performance of bead filters.When used according to dosage instructions Microbe-Lift® Super Start will provide the following benefits:- Rapid establishment of organic removal capabilities. - Rapid establishment of nitrogen cycling including nitrification and denitrification. - Reduced build-up of residue in the filter reducing maintenance and improving filter efficiency by reducing “channelling”. - Breakdown of residual medications, like tea tree oils and formalin products which are inhibitory to most bacteria, after use. - Rapid recovery of filter after use of medications and antibiotics. - Effective over a wide pH range. - Reduces ammonia nitrogen levels. - Significantly reduces noxious odours caused by algae, fish waste and urine.- Reduces hydrogen sulphide, which creates strong, offensive odours. DIRECTIONS: When starting up the filter, apply Microbe-Lift® Super Start for 4 weeks. After cleaning the filter apply for 2 weeks. Use Microbe-Lift® Clean & Clear for maintenance. SIZE ARTNR.

Its highly specialized microbial consortium of nitrifying cultures is specially formulated to eliminate ammonia via a natural biological process termed nitrification. Remains active to 4°C (Best results from 13°C and up). The cultures contained in MICROBE-LIFT®/NITE-OUT II will establish, promote or stabilize and maintain nitrification in pond waters, eliminating the toxic effect of ammonia. MICROBE-LIFT®/NITE-OUT II liquid nitrifying bacteria contains select strains of Nitroso-monas, Nitrospira and Nitrobacter. Nitrosomonas convert ammonia to nitrite and Nitrobacter and Nitrospira convert nitrite to nitrate.BENEFITS- Initiates nitrification super fast - Promotes stable nitrification. - Provides stable cold weather nitrification. - Safe for use around plants and animals. NOTES ON NITRIFICATION When ammonia removal is desired first start with MICROBE-LIFT Clean & Clear to reduce the organic waste in the pond as high levels of BOD can inhibit nitrification by competing with the nitrifying microorganisms for necessary oxygen. After applying MICROBE-LIFT Clean & Clear wait 24 to 48 hours to do its job, and then apply MICROBE-LIFT NITE-OUT II. Prior to the addition of NITE-OUT II (to start and maintain nitrification). Check to make sure that the pond' pH is in the correct range for nitrification. Adjust the pond pH to a range of 7.5 to 8.7, and check to see if adequate alkalinity is present as you must maintain a level of at least 50/ppm of alkalinity at all times. This is necessary as nitrifying microorganisms use 7.1 lbs of alkalinity for each pound of ammonia removed (oxidized). If proper alkalinity is not present, nitrification will not occur, and if alkalinity is lost nitrification will cease and the pond pH will drop due to the nitrifying cultures activity. To increase alkalinity add AquaForte BioStabil or Kusuri Biobalance until you achieve an alkalinity level of 50/ppm to 100/ppm (minimum), and then maintain the alkalinity at a level of 50/ppm.

Parasitic infestations are characterized by symptoms such as milky skin, flashing and heavy breathing, but can only be diagnosed with certainty through microscopic examination. Just like Sabbactisun Parazoryne supports the immune system of the fish, causing parasites to be driven off.Parazoryne does not kill parasites directly. Since they cannot return to the fish during the treatment, the majority of the parasites will starve. Parazoryne is no disinfectant, it restores the natural balance. After a treatment there will be some parasites present, as will be on any healthy fish.A treatment with antibiotics poses several problems, for example for the water quality. Nitrifying bacteria in the biofilter are also killed so that daily water changes need to be done in order to prevent ammonia poisoning. Parazoryne does not kill the nitrifying bacteria and do not reduce the water quality, which saves time and money. During treatment with Parazoryne the fish can be normally fed and filtration will remain in normal operation. Those factors will add to the wellbeing and recovery of the fishes. A treatment in a hospital or quarantine tank will always be more economical, but if it is difficult to catch the fish, Parazoryne can be SAFELY used in show or breeding aquaria or ponds.- 100% Natural, environment friendly, herbal products. - Parazoryne reduces parasites on the fish such as Gyrodactylus sp., Dactylogyrus sp., Chilodonella sp., Trichodina sp., Ichthyophthirius multifillis, Ichtyobodo necator and Oodinium sp. - Safe for all fresh and brackish water fish species, invertebrates and aquatic plants. - Do not affect nitrifying (biofilter) bacteria, non toxic. - Sabbactisun is also effective against strains of bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics. - Do not cause resistancy. - Do not color the water or stain or affect silicone sealings. - No harmful residues: Parazoryne is completely biodegradable.

Sabbactisun enhances the natural immune system of the fish. Pathogenic bacteria which are driven off the fish will ultimately die if they do not have a host, without the risk of becoming resistant. Sabbactisun is effective at reducing bacterial infections as well as ulcers and wounds which often occur on koi. Regular antibiotics kill the non resistant bacteria but do not heal ulcers. Sabbactisun does not only drive off the pathogenic bacteria but stimulates and accelerates regeneration of damaged tissues, even with deep ulcers, until no trace of it remains, in a surprisingly short time span. An open wound or ulcer on which the bacteria have been killed by antibiotics still remains a sensitive place for reinfection and parasites, so even after an antibiotic treatment it is important to use Sabbactisun to prevent reinfection. Sabbactisun can be used directly in any pond or aquarium, it is safe for all life in and around it. Sabbactisun also helps fish to acclimatize.A treatment with antibiotics poses several problems, for example for the water quality.
