Whenever you do a water change, make sure to add some dechlorinator before refilling the pond.

Under normal use it is generally not necessary to add dechlorinator to the pond each time the auto-fill comes on because it is only replacing such a small percentage of water.

Again, the exception would be if you were replacing more than 10% of the pond water at any one time.

Microbe-Lift PL is a 100% natural, beneficial, environmentally safe and facultative bacteria that is non-pathogenic, non-toxic and non-caustic.

Microbe-Lift PL creates a healthy environment in your pond or lagoon and promotes faster fish growth. It improves dissolved oxygen and reduces hydrogen sulfide odors.

Microbe-Lift PL provides sustained biological activity in water temperatures even under 55 degrees. It helps to reduce ammonia and nitrogen levels and reduces animal waste buildup.

Can be used to treat fish and plants

Potassium Permanganate mixed with water to make a light paste can be very successful in treating wounds.

The only disadvantage to using the paste is that the wound will be stained a dark purple for a couple of days which makes it harder to tell if the wound is healing.

Often times new plants will have parasites on them so you will need to treat them with potassium permanganate before you introduce them to the pond.
