Biotope Goldfish and Koi KH Balance

Introduction: Biotope Goldfish and Koi KH Balance is a specially formulated water conditioner designed to stabilize and maintain the carbonate hardness (KH) levels in ponds and aquariums that house Goldfish and Koi. KH plays a crucial role in buffering the pH of water, preventing harmful pH fluctuations that can stress or harm fish. This product ensures a stable environment for your fish by providing a balanced and safe increase in KH, supporting healthy biological filtration and overall water stability.

Features:

• Stabilizes pH: By maintaining optimal KH levels, the product helps to prevent dangerous pH swings, ensuring a more stable and healthy aquatic environment for your Goldfish and Koi.
• Promotes Biological Filtration: Proper KH levels support the efficiency of biological filtration, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria that break down harmful ammonia and nitrite.
• Safe for Fish and Plants: Biotope KH Balance is safe for all types of fish, plants, and invertebrates when used as directed, making it ideal for both ponds and large aquariums.
• Long-Lasting Effects: The product slowly dissolves, providing long-term stability to KH levels without requiring frequent dosing.
• Essential for Koi Ponds: Koi are sensitive to water quality changes, and maintaining proper KH is critical for their well-being, especially in outdoor ponds where rainwater and other factors can affect water chemistry.

Usage:

• Testing KH Levels: It is recommended to regularly test your water’s KH levels using a reliable test kit. Ideal KH levels for Koi ponds and Goldfish aquariums should be between 4-8 dKH (70-140 ppm).
• Dosage:
  • Add Biotope KH Balance directly to the water at the rate of 10 grams per 100 liters (26 gallons) of water. This will raise the KH by approximately 1-2 dKH.
  • Adjust the dosage depending on the existing KH levels and the desired target for your pond or aquarium.
• Application: Sprinkle the required amount directly into the water or mix it with water in a separate container and then pour it evenly into the pond or aquarium.
• Frequency: Re-test KH levels weekly or after heavy rains or water changes, and redose as necessary to maintain stable KH levels.

Available Sizes: Biotope Goldfish and Koi KH Balance is available in a range of sizes to suit different pond and aquarium capacities:

• 300g: Ideal for smaller ponds or aquariums.
• 500g: Suitable for medium-sized ponds or tanks.
• 1.5kg: A good choice for larger ponds or long-term use in moderate-sized setups.
• 2.2kg: For large aquariums or ponds with higher water volumes, providing an extended supply.
• 10kg: Bulk option perfect for extensive ponds or professional use, offering the best value for larger systems.

Recommendations:

• Monitor KH and pH Regularly: It’s important to regularly monitor both KH and pH levels, especially in outdoor Koi ponds, where rainwater can dilute KH and cause pH swings.
• Ideal for Koi and Goldfish Enthusiasts: This product is perfect for hobbyists and professionals alike who are maintaining large ponds or aquariums with Koi and Goldfish, which thrive in environments with stable water parameters.
• Prevent Algae Growth: Maintaining stable KH levels not only benefits fish health but also prevents algae blooms by discouraging rapid pH changes that can promote algae growth.
• Use in Combination with Other Water Conditioners: For optimal water quality, consider using Biotope Goldfish and Koi KH Balance alongside other Biotope products like water conditioners and beneficial bacteria supplements, which can further improve biological filtration and water clarity.
