Description
UltraClear® Biological Clarifierimproves water clarity, cleans water, reduces organic build-up, removes toxic ammonia and nitrite, and removes odors! Fight back against the problems caused by fertilizer run-off, fish and animal waste, dead leaves and grass -- restoring aquatic environments to their natural health and beauty. This environmentally friendly, natural formula is easy to use and safe for fish and wildlife.
Biological Pond Clarifier is entirely composed of two types of beneficial bacteria: chemolithotrophic and heterotrophic. Chemolithotrophic bacteria (nitrifiying bacteria) are aerobic bacteria that transform toxic ammonia to nitrite, then to nitrate. They also consume phosphates, which frequently cause algae growth. Heterotrophic bacteria digest organic sediment and dissolved carbon, converting nitrate into non-toxic nitrogen gas. Combined, these bacteria reduce toxins and nutrients that cause pond clarity issues.

The bacteria in Biological Pond Clarifier is all-natural, non-toxic and safe for all fish and wildlife. These bacterial species are recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) as Biosafety Level 1 bacteria, defined as having "
