API POND SALT Pond Water Salt

A lack of electrolytes in pond may cause serious health problems for fish. API POND SALT supplies electrolytes to improve fish respiration. Made from evaporated sea water and containing natural active ingredients such as a natural fish tonic, API POND SALT promotes the overall health of your fish by improving their gill function and reducing stress in a pond. This all-natural salt provides the essential electrolytes fish need for the uptake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide and ammonia through the gills. API POND SALT should only be added to reduce stress during new pond setup and water changes or to promote disease recovery when solving specific fish health issues. Use API POND SALT when setting up a new pond, when changing water or treating disease. Make sure to take extra care when using salt with live plants, as some plants may be sensitive.

For ponds with plants, add 1 ¼ cups of POND SALT for each 100 U.S. gallons of pond water (or 100 g for 100 L of pond water). For ponds without plants, add 2 cups of POND SALT for each 100 U.S. gallons of pond water (or 200 g for 100 L of pond water). For disease treatment, short-term salt baths are beneficial to kill external parasites and treat fungal infections. In a plastic container, dissolve 2 ½ cups of POND SALT in 10 U.S. gallons of pond water (or 200 g for 10 L of pond water). Do not use in tap water. Carefully place infected fish in the salt bath for 5-10 minutes, but do not leave fish in salt bath for longer than 10 minutes. Return fish to pond afterward, and repeat treatment if needed after 24 hours.Note: once added to the pond, POND SALT does not evaporate and is not filtered out. So, add additional POND SALT with each water change. The addition of POND SALT is not recommended when topping off due to evaporation.
