| SUMMER TIPS
As summer continues now is the best time to see if problems are likely to occur as fish breed and increase in size and number, you may need to know; are there too many fish in my pond? Is my filtration coping with the increased bioload?
Reducing the number of fish is as easy as giving them away to friends and family but fixing the other issue may take a little more effort but not too much!

Clearpond sells many products to boost filtration capacity such as Clearpond Bacteria which is available in 10gm, 50gm, 250gm and 1 kg containers.
This product is easy to use; just get a clean jar and scoop up some pond water (do not use tap water), place the required amount of bacteria in the jar and shake for 1 minute, let the jar sit out of the sun for 10 minutes then sprinkle over the surface of the pond and into the filter.
Also available is Clearpond Biostarter which comes pre-mixed, just add the required amount as per above and it's as easy as that!

CLEARPOND FISH FOOD
Whether you keep goldfish or koi, feeding fish is not only important to "give them something to eat" but feeding your fish a high quality food is essential for their growth, colour, immunity and well being. Feeding a quality fish food also helps in improving and maintaining water quality.

Clearpond provides our customers with 4 types of fish food perfect for goldfish, koi and fish used in aquaponics such as barramundi, perch and trout.
Grower Professional Pond Stix is a 4mm diameter food which comes in a 5kg bag containing 23% protein as well as vitamin A, D3, E and C. It is an optimally balanced feed and as it floats it is easy to see how much food is being eaten to avoid over feeding.
Grower Professional Gro-Mix also comes in a 5kg bag and is a 3mm floating food. It is enriched with spirulina algae for health and well being and paprika for enhancing natural colours. Slightly higher in protein at 33% it also contains vitamin A, D3, E and C.
Clearpond's "Hi Pro" food is available in a 20kg crumble with 50% protein and in a 25kg 4mm pellet containing 45% protein. It is ideal for aquaponics as well as a supplementary food for standard pond fish.
