NT Labs Koi Care Filter Bugs is a specialized bacterial supplement designed for pond keepers looking to establish or maintain a robust biological filtration system. It is ideal for pond owners performing seasonal spring restarts, setting up new filters, or recovering from water quality imbalances caused by treatments or heavy cleanings. While the product is highly effective at neutralizing harmful ammonia and nitrite, it requires the temporary deactivation of UV sterilizers to ensure the bacteria successfully colonize the pond filter media.

This is often a natural reaction as the bacteria establish themselves; ensure oxygen levels are high in the pond to support the bacterial bloom.
To ensure success, turn off your UV clarifier for at least 24 hours after dosing to allow the beneficial bacteria to attach to the filter media. The product is compatible with all standard pond filters and materials, including bio-rings, matting, and sponges. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain the potency of the live bacteria. Always calculate your pond volume accurately before dosing to avoid waste or under-dosing, and perform routine water tests for ammonia and nitrite to verify the bacterial colonization progress.
