USEFUL TIPS FOR YOUR POND

USEFUL TIPS FOR YOUR POND

By Clifford Woods

Pond Magician contains beneficial micro-organisms which eat toxins.

When they eat the toxins, they give off as a by-product antioxidants and probiotics (a substance containing beneficial micro-organisms) which are very good things for fish, plants, etc.
One very important thing to understand is that Pond Magician is NOT a chemical, nor does it contain any chemicals.
Sometimes you will see little white particles floating around on the top of your Pond Magician. These particles are just one of the ingredients in the product. They do not mean the PM is old or not longer good. Just keep the lid on tight so no air can get into the container as air tends to make these little white particles show up.

You may ask “How do I know if the PM is still good?”
Well, if it smells kind of sweet, similar to soy sauce, it is still good. When it goes bad it smells really bad and you can tell just by smelling the PM if it is still good or not.

The shelf life of Pond Magician is 6 months after purchase. It will last longer than that. If you have a question about your PM, you should smell it. If you have had the PM for some time but haven’t used it. The smell will tell whether it is good or not.

How Does Pond Magician work?

Pond Magician's millions of friendly microbes move through your pond and gobble up the organisms and pollutants that make your pond unsightly and smelly. Different than other pond and lake cleaners which solely treat organic substances, Pond Magician contains both beneficial aerobic (living or occurring only in the presence of oxygen) and beneficial anaerobic (grows and thrives in an oxygen-free environment) microorganisms and therefore can adapt to a wide variety of pond water conditions.

These two categories of microbes team up to eliminate the organic and inorganic pollutants that live in your pond.

As these beneficial aerobic microbes do their work, you get the following benefits:

• Your pond water will be as fresh and clear as water from a fresh running mountain stream.
• Your pond fish and plants will be very happy, thriving.
• Your fish and plants will live longer.
• Your pond will have a very pleasant "alive and healthy" scent.

CONTROLLING ALGAE NATURALLY IN YOUR POND

Controlling Algae Naturally in Your Pond

By Clifford Woods

You have two choices in dealing with algae in your pond and that is with chemicals or naturally.

Chemical methods are fine if you there are no living creatures or plants in your pond because algaecides and chemicals will kill any and all life in the water. Normallly chemicals would be used in a swimming pool or perhaps outdoor fountains, any water feature that does not have plants and or fish in them.

The natural way works with Mother Nature, not against her. You could use plants and fish, or good bacteria that would create and maintain a healthy well balanced ecosystem.

Algae itself is a plant, it needs nutrients and light to grow so when you add plants to your pond they directly compete for the nutrients available. Add enough plants and you naturally minimize the nutrients available to the algae.

Over feeding your fish: Fish food that is not digested by the fish is the main pollutant in many ponds. Fish eat many things in the pond and that includes algae. Too much food for the fish increases waste and provides nutrients that feed the algae. When the algae goes on an over population bloom reduce or eliminate feeding until it is under control.

Reduce sunlight penetration: Cover at least half of the surface area of your pond with plants. Water that is not covered is much more difficult to keep in balance than ponds filled with beneficial plants.

Add bacteria: healthy colonies of bacteria found in Pond Magician are a crucial part in ensuring a naturally balanced pond. When cooler water temperatures are present add more and during the warmer months add less.

Keep the water moving: pulling water from one end of the pond and then filtering it before it returns at the opposite end will greatly improve water quality. Oxygen is added to the water as it is circulated.

Create a run off or add a drain tile: Water run off from lawns and surrounding gardens can overload the pond with nutrients and that is not good for the life in your pond. 

Manually take out the dead and decaying  plants and their leaves: Decaying leaves and or plant debris will also create excess nutrients in your pond.  Skimmer are by far the most efficient and easiest way to keep your pond free of debris.

Water change: A partial water change (10-30%) every month or month and half may also help reduce excess nutrients in some situations.

Maintaining Healthy And Clear Aquariums With Beneficial Microorganisms

Maintaining Healthy And Clear Aquariums With Beneficial Microorganisms
By Clifford Woods

Your fish tank requires regular cleaning if you want to keep the water sparkling and everything that's swimming in it alive. It also helps keep bad odor at bay which can easily fill up the room. It's a good thing that individuals who love viewing aquatic animals at home can enjoy healthy and clear aquariums with Beneficial Microorganisms, or BM for short.

BM for fish tanks come in liquid form. Just like what the name reveals, it consists of millions of beneficial bacteria. Each of them works synergistically, which means that one enhances the job rendered by the other. Together, they eliminate microbes that are responsible for the acceleration of water pollution and the production of bad odor.

Although it is said that there are over 80 types of bacteria present, all of them can be classified into five groups. They include lactic acid bacteria, photosynthetic bacteria, actinomycetes, yeasts and fungi. EM contains microorganisms that can live in environments with oxygen as well as in areas where the gas is absent (aerobic and anaerobic respectively).

It's not just water in the tank that benefits from the use of BM, but also all the other living organisms in it. This means that both the fish and plants can stay healthier in an environment that is more suitable for their existence.

For home owners, BM spares them from the back-breaking task of having the water and everything else in the tank cleaned regularly.

Taking advantage of BM is as simple as pouring the right amount of liquid in the water on a monthly basis. Ideally, you have to add an ounce of it for every 10 gallons of water. No mixing or any other special preparation is necessary as you pour it into the fish tank straight from the container. It's a good idea to make sure that it is evenly dispersed in the water.

Whether your fish tank contains fresh or salt water, BM helps in providing your aquatic animals and plants a healthier and cleaner environment. Do take note that this product is not genetically or chemically produced. It's 100% natural and organic. This means you are not adding anything into the water that can be harmful to any living organism found in it, except for microbes that contribute to water pollution, bad odor and even diseases that affect marine life.

The many other uses of BM serve as proofs that it's very safe. It's being utilized by organic farmers to enrich and improve the condition of soil, leading to better agricultural productivity. Cheese, bread, beer, yogurt, pickles and other fermented food items are also made possible because of it. BM is used for sanitizing medical facilities, as well as for cleaning sewers and oil spills. It is useful in eliminating bad odor and preventing the spread of diseases in animal industries and zoos.

It's easier to maintain healthy and clear aquariums with Beneficial Microorganisms. Pollution and bad bacteria that contribute to a poor environment for fish and plants can be eliminated on a microscopic level. It's good for fish tanks containing several gallons of fresh or salt water, as well as ponds that can be really difficult to keep in an excellent condition.

Once you follow the simple guidelines to healthy and clear aquariums with Beneficial Microorganisms, everything else comes easy. The health of your fish will be improved as the water quality is much better. This also implies that you have less work to do in terms of dealing with issues such as disease and infections.

Depending on your schedule, always set a date at least every month to siphon any debris from the gravel. This will ensure that your tank is sparkling clean. You will worry less about your fish with Beneficial Microorganisms.

Given the mentioned facts, it would be much easier to maintain healthy and clear aquariums with Beneficial Microorganisms. The general guidelines should help you during the initial stages as you will learn more over time and get acquainted with more detailed requirements.

My All Natural, No Chemical Pond Never Turns Green

My All Natural, No Chemical Pond Never Turns Green

By Clifford Woods

"My all-natural, no-chemical pond never turns green" is a statement made by our Founder's wife about their pond. She uses Pond Magician and Magic Sinkers all-year-round!

This astonishing statement got me curious! I knew the products worked; but never turns green? This I had to find out more about. So, being naturally curious I asked her how they did it. She explains how they keep their pond fresh and clean all-year-round with natural, organic no-chemical products.

No Chemicals tips for a clean, all natural, organic pond that you and your fish will love!

The first point is NEVER put any chemicals what-so-ever in your pond. They damage the environment; destroy natural vegetation and they can HARM your fish! If you are currently using chemicals, it is strongly recommend that you cease using them. At the very least, they are not safe for the environment. Use the recommended dosages - always!

When asked to elaborate on the pond itself, she says she has a 2500 gallon pond and that she always uses the recommended dosages of Pond Magician, every 6 weeks or so, ALL-YEAR-ROUND!

• No Ultra Violet Lights - ever. Ultra Violet light does reduce the bacteria in the pond; however, the UV cannot tell the difference between the good bacteria and the bad ones. Because of this, a UV light kills the friendly bacteria in the Pond and in the Pond Magician - right along with the bad guys!
• Use your dechlorinator. If your water is chlorinated or every time you add fresh water to your pond; dechlorinate. Chlorine is not good for the microbes in the Pond Magician.
• No sludge build-up! Because she uses Pond Magician - about once every 6 weeks or so, no black, stinky, smelly sludge builds up on the bottom of the pond.

Using Pond Magician, at the recommended dosages, all-year-round (every 6 weeks or so) and keeping your pond dechlorinated whenever you add fresh water, will give you: a) happy fish, b) thriving and beautiful plants c) no green water, and d) a clean, healthy, beautiful pond all-year-round!

Pond Magician gives you a clear, natural pond that never turns green all-year-round!
