Ammonia & Nitrites
Products to Control the Effects of Ammonia & Nitrite Problems and Beef Up the Biological Filter

Fish cannot live very long in a pond that has no nitrifying cycle in place.  The ammonia and nitrites will kill the fish.  The trick is to prevent ammonia and nitrite spikes from occurring by installing a proper biological filter where good bacteria can thrive and create the nitrifying cycle. 

Ammonia DeToxifiers / Biological Filter Boosters / Test Kits

Read Up!  These articles contain information about what the nitrifying cycle is and how to help your pond create and maintain a healthy cycle.

Ammonia Detoxifiers & De-chlorinators
If you are experiencing problems with ammonia or nitrite spikes use these products instead of your regular de-chlorinator.  It will remove chlorine and protect the fish from the effects of ammonia up to 2 ppm. 
 

Ultimate Water Conditioner
Removes Nitrates, Nitrites, Ammonia, Chlorine & Chloramines

Safe for Salt, Reef, Live Rock & Fresh Water Aquariums & Ponds. Ultimate is a "full-function" water conditioner that works in the principle way that Amquel Plus does.  It removes ammonia and chlorine, destroys chloramines, detoxifies nitrite and heavy metals, boosts alkalinity, replaces skin-slime coat, adds electrolytes, reduces stress and instantly "ages" water.
Great for new ponds where biological bacteria have not been established, for under-filtered ponds where persistent ammonia and nitrite readings occur and for over-stocked ponds.
Ultimate 32 oz. Bottle.......treats 1920 gals.....$ 19.95
Ultimate Gallon Size.......treats 7680 gals.....$ 69.95
Not all test kits will give you proper readings when Ultimate is used.  For accurate test results use only Kordon or Pond Care by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals brands of Ammonia and Nitrite drop test kits.
