Will help maintain a healthy pond environment and reduce the threat of parasitic disease in pond water.
Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals added to your pond water can be effective in helping to maintain a healthy fish environment and, in proper dosages, has proven to be helpful in reducing the threat of parasitic infestations in the pond.
Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals will temporarily block the toxic effects of nitrite, and by initiating the production of a thicker slime coat on the fish's body surface, helps to promote a stronger immune system and reduce stress.
Caution - Do not overdose. When adding salt to ponds that contain aquatic plants, be especially careful in monitoring salt concentration as salt can be a toxic effect on certain plants. Before adding salt to your pond, remove any zeolite products being used.
Directions - Salt will not evaporate from your pond. After testing your pond water with a hydrometer, you can add salt with your regular water changes. We recommend mixing salt and pond water in a bucket, and then spreading the slurry around the perimeter of your pond. Be careful to avoid direct contact with pond plants.

Microbe-Lift/Therapeutic Salt For Ponds & Quarantine Tanks reduces the amount of energy a fish must expend to maintain osmotic balance, in fresh water fish, this energy can be substantial. If your fish is suffering as a result of a nitrite spike (a.k.a. Brown Blood Disease), ML/Therapeutic Salt For Quarantine Tanks acts to slow the rate of nitrite uptake - possibly the difference between survival and death, with electrolytes, minerals and Allantoin, which accelerates wound and fin healing, ML/Therapeutic Salt provides the necessary elements pond fish require to reduce stress and develop a healthy slime coat.
CautionBe especially careful when adding any salt to tanks containing aquatic plants as salt can have a toxic effect. Before adding salt, remove any zeolite products. Fish emit excessive amounts of ammonia when salted, so test your water for ammonia spikes with Microbe-Lift/Ammonia Test Strips. Don't overdose.
