Making green pond clear
Bacta Clear pond bacteria for a clear pond
Simon van der Velde

Keeping it simple is what it's all about. The world of pond care seemed like a jungle, full of different products - half with an "A," half with a "B," and then those special varieties for koi- or swimming ponds. Too complicated, I thought. That's why I am proud to introduce: BACTA CLEAR.

 

Why lose yourself in a maze of products when one hero can suffice? BACTA CLEAR is your all-in-one solution. It not only starts up your pond, but also cleans the bottom sludge, gives your plants exactly what they need and keeps both suspended and filamentous algae at bay. And that's not all. BACTA CLEAR goes further by efficiently breaking down excess fish food, feces, decaying leaves and dead algae, making your pond a model of biological balance.

 

Thanks to a carefully selected blend of multiple bacterial strains, BACTA CLEAR ensures crystal clear water and keeps algae growth firmly in check. It is completely eco-friendly and safe for humans, plants and animals. Simply put, with BACTA CLEAR you get peace back into your garden and into your life.

The best pond bacteria for the pond: BACTA CLEAR

In a pond, nitrifying bacteria are important. These bacteria help convert waste products into CO2. This is necessary for the growth of oxygen plants, which need CO2 to grow. BACTA CLEAR contains not 1 but 2 strain bacteria that both ensure clear water and prevent algae growth. In addition, BACTA CLEAR is 100% eco and not harmful to humans, plants and animals.

Starting up your pond with BACTA CLEAR

Starting up a new pond requires careful attention to ensure a healthy biological balance. With BACTA CLEAR, you can manage this process effectively and efficiently. This one product helps quickly build a robust microbial community essential for a healthy pond.

Easily and effectively find your pond balance with BACTA CLEAR

BACTA CLEAR contains concentrated beneficial bacteria that are essential for any new pond. These bacteria provide necessary carbon dioxide production that helps regulate algae and supports the health of your pond plants and fish. By adding BACTA CLEAR, you speed up the natural process of establishing a biological balance, bringing your pond to a healthy state faster.

BACTA CLEAR: The all-in-one solution for your new pond

Instead of using multiple products to increase GH, add CO2, and stabilize KH levels, BACTA CLEAR offers a complete solution. It not only promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria but also helps regulate water quality and oxygen levels. This ensures that your pond is well equipped from the start to maintain a clear and healthy environment for everything that lives and grows in your pond.

Oxygen plants are a must for any pond!
Sufficiently oxygenating underwater plants in the pond means you will NOT need a pump and filter. Oxygenating plants filter the water and block the sun. This causes the water to heat up less which reduces the formation of algae. Oxygen plants also provide shelter for fish from impending danger. All of our oxygen plants are hardy and are supplied from our own aquatic plant nursery with a 100% growth and flowering guarantee. For oxygen plants, I recommend a minimum of 10 to 12 individual plants per m³ (1000 liters of water) and 2 baskets of 4 plants per m². The amount needed depends on how quickly you want the pond to balance and your visual requirements.
