This Ubbink Aqua Bectifit pond ammonia detoxifier stimulates the growth of micro-organisms that convert nitrogen into helpful amino acids and break down toxic ammonia so that the aquatic life in your pond can thrive. Aqua Bactifit contains more than 500 different strains of bacteria and ensures that an effective bacteria culture develops quickly and is preserved in your garden pond and in the filter system. This encourages the breakdown of nitrogen, detoxifying the harmful decomposition products, ammonia and nitrite. Nitrogen is an essential nutrient required by all plants and animals. But in its molecular form, nitrogen cannot be used by most aquatic plants, therefore it must be converted to another form, by micro-organisms. And too much ammonia increases the toxin level of the water, which is thought to be the main cause of unexplained losses in fish hatcheries. Excess ammonia causes convulsions, coma and even death for fish. With this Aqua Bectifit, your pond will be rid of extreme amounts of ammonia and maintained at an ideal level for your fish and plants to thrive.
