HOW MUCH PRO - 100 PRODUCT DO I NEED?

First week: 159 ml per 1000 galls

Maintenance doses for one month: 60 ml per 1000 galls (below 15C = 120ml)

CAN I OVER DOSE?

No! PRO-100 is harmless for the eco-system

IF PRO-100 REDUCES BAD BACTERIA WHAT ABOUT MY FILTER BACTERIA?

Unlike pathogenic bacteria, for which a pond is not a preferred environment, filter bacteria like Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter, are perfectly at home in the filter of a decorative pond and will not be out-competed by PRO-100. They are lithotrophic bacteria that covert ammonia and nitrite and do not have the same carbon source.

IF I ALREADY HAVE FISH WITH ULCERS AM I TO LATE TO START USING PRO-100?

No! Use Pro-100 to reduce development of pathogens in the water. The proliferation of bad bacteria results in further deterioration of the wounds. Most Pathogens are haemolytic which means they poison blood and eat & destroy tissue cells. Competing beneficial bacteria slow that process.

IF I RID 100% OF ALL THE PATHOGENS IN THE WATER, WILL THIS WEAKEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM TO RECOGNIZE NEW INVADERS ?

No! 100% eradication is very hard to achieve, even though Pro-100 is capable of that result.

A non-infectious very low level of pathogens will be enough for immune systems to develop recognition. This is important, particularly in small fish where the immune system is not fully developed. Using Pro-100 will assist the immune system through the improvement of the water quality.

WHAT IF I HAVE TO USE A POND WIDE MEDICATION SAY FOR PARASITIC PROBLEMS?

Most chemicals are detrimental to all bacteria in a pond eco-system and your filter bacteria as well!

To restore your beneficial bacteria follow the initial dose procedure again after pond treatment is finished.

If topically applied treatments are used and do not involve medicating the whole pond, carry on with the maintenance doses.

THE WATER IS COLD, DO I NOW STOP USING PRO-100?
