Product Description
Blagdon Pond Guardian Tonic Salt - Essential Physiological salts, with pH buffer, for promoting pond fish health.
Pond guardians unique formulation helps to create the perfect environment for pond fish. This product stabilises pond water conditions, including the all important pH value. Pond Guardian is a major ally in your fishes' struggle to maintain a constant internal body environment, and helps to reduce the toxic effects of fish waste products such as nitrate.
Pond Guardian is one of the Pondkeeper's most versatile water treatments. It can be used in a variety of ways:
1. As a general Pond Tonic: - A dose of pond guardian will help your fishes' immune system to combat disease. See the table below for recommended dosage levels.
2. As a mild pH buffer: - Pond guardian will guard against potentially damaging swings in pH (excess alkalinity or acidity), helping to keep the pH stable at an ideal level for pond fish - close to neutral. See the table below for recommended dosage levels.
3. To help minimise the effects of stress on pond fish: - Pond fish are often subject to stress. This can be caused by a number of factors, the most common being over-crowding and poor water quality. Stress makes fish more susceptible to disease and can therefore be a killer. For further details see the relevant section of the enclosed leaflet on pond care & maintenance. See table below for dosage levels.
4. As a supportive measure when treating for disease: - When treating certain diseases, such as Ulcers, Dropsy, Fungus, etc with pond water treatments it is often recommended to support the treatment with a course of pond tonic salt.See table below for recommended dosage levels.
