NT Labs Koi Care Filter Bugs is a high-performance, bacteria-rich formula designed for pond owners who need to establish or maintain a robust biological filtration system. By introducing essential Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter, and Nitrospira bacteria, this product helps break down harmful ammonia and nitrite, ensuring stable and healthy water conditions for your fish. While it is highly effective at kick-starting biological cycles in both new and existing ponds, users should note that the UV filter must be switched off for 24 hours following application to ensure the bacteria properly establish themselves in the filter media.

Yes, you must turn off your UV clarifier for at least 24 hours after adding Filter Bugs to allow the bacteria to settle into the filter media.
This 2.5L container is capable of treating up to 90,000 litres of pond water.
It is best to wait until any chemical medication course has finished before using Filter Bugs, as some treatments can negatively affect bacterial colonies.
Yes, the product is completely safe for all pond fish, including Koi and Goldfish.
Use it when starting a new pond, after cleaning your filter, or whenever water quality tests show an increase in ammonia or nitrite.
Verify that the UV filter was turned off for the full 24 hours and check that the filter media is not overly clogged with debris.
This is often a temporary bacterial bloom; ensure adequate oxygenation in the pond and wait 48 hours for the water to clear naturally.
To ensure the best results, shake the container well before use. Apply the calculated dose directly onto your filter foam, matting, or bio-balls.
Crucial step: You must switch off your UV clarifier for 24 hours after application. The UV light will kill the beneficial bacteria before they have a chance to colonize the filter media.
For ongoing care, keep the container stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Check the expiry date on the packaging to ensure the bacterial culture remains active and effective. This product is compatible with NT Labs Pond Salt, but always ensure proper aeration when adding any pond treatments to prevent oxygen depletion.
