Sure Start/Filter Start is used for new and old filters to get the natural bacterial base started. Use with a new filter, at the start of the growing season, or when changes occur to your filter during the year.
Only 2 oz for each 3 gallons per minute biofilter is recommended.
UltraClear Filter Start is a super-concentrated mixture of natural garden bacteria that work together to consume all typical pond wastes. The main bacteria groups contained in this product and their functions are as follows:
Nitrifying bacteria oxidize toxic ammonia and nitrite to relatively non-toxic nitrate.
Denitrifying bacteria convert nitrate to completely harmless nitrogen gas.
Sludge digesting bacteria consume fecal matter, dead algae, leaves, clippings and other solids which otherwise tend to build up in your pond.
Once the product is dosed, it becomes part of the biofilter. The bacteria grow in the biofilter, and consume waste as pond water passes through. The best feature of this product is that the biofilter begins to work at peak efficiency within just a few days of product application, rather than the weeks it often takes without product use.

Aquarium UltraClear? DeChlorinator conditions and detoxifies water. It’s an excellent conditioner for aquarium fish that will remove any chlorine and chloramine that may be in tap water. This promote the essential slime coat on your fish to protect gills as it detoxifies heavy metals in well water and reduces long term nitrate build up.
This dechlorinator works in fresh or salt water conditions. It safe for all fish and wildlife.
Use one capful (5 cc) for every 20 gallons of water.
Use EVERY 30 to 60 days to protect fish gills and prevent nitrate buildup.

One of the better selling natural bacterial products at Tricker’s! This liquid formulation contains the “good” bacteria that are necessary for the nitrogen cycle that keeps your water garden pool in ecological balance. These nonpathogenic (safe) bacteria will consume nutrients that cause excess algae and restores water purity and seed a new biological filter. Reduces ammonia and nitrite levels. These natural bacteria will also consume large amounts of phosphate.
Beautify your pond, improve the clarity, and reduce organic sediment. UltraClear® Clarifier is beneficial to fish and wildlife in ponds.
Use routinely in the water garden pool or pond to keep the water clear. Use routinely if an algicide such as GreenClean is in use.
Start with 1 ounce each week to treat water garden pools up to 2500 gallons. After a month, reduce dosage to twice per month or as needed.
Safe for aquatic life; aquatic plants, tadpoles, turtles, salamaders, fish, snails, etc. Tricker’s highly recommends to use routinely.

The pH of the water determines the acidic or alkaline (basic) properties of your pond. Fish do best in neutral water that is neither too acidic nor too alkaline. Excessively high or low pH may be directly responsible for death from secondary causes (i.e. parasitic infections). Extreme pH changes will irritate the skin and gills of the fish.
UltraClear Buffer Block will stabilize the pH and increase water hardness and alkalinity in your pond. Low or no buffering capacity (low alkalinity & calcium carbonates) causes the pH of the pond to become unstable resulting in wide swings of the pH.
UltraClear Buffer Block adds essential calcium needed for healthy fish bone growth. It also enhances the growth and survival of beneficial bacteria for a healthy, beautiful pond. Great for snails!
INSTRUCTIONS: Large Buffer Block treats ponds up to 2000 gallons. Place the Buffer Block in the main water flow of the skimmer, filter or waterfall. The large container lasts up to 3 weeks. Replace the block when dissolved.

UltraClear® SST is a Super Strength (SST) biological treatment for clarifying ponds from top to bottom. It is more than twice the strength of the regular UltraClear® and contains a special additional blend of natural bacteria. Digests organic sediment, eliminates odor, and is safe for fish and wildlife. Especially effective for control of many types of algae and string algae. Also exceptionally good for use to restore the ecology of the pool water after using a fast acting algacide such as GreenClean on severe string algae problems. Use 1 ounce for every 150 gallons of pond volume. (Example, Pond volume = 600 gallons, then 600/150 = 4 ounces).
