Sludge and Muck Reducer

Every pond, regardless of size, is susceptible to a buildup of sludge and muck. Unfortunately, this can spell disaster for a pond’s health; decaying organic material, fish waste and leftover fish food can release toxins into the water, destroying clarity and water quality.

What Are Sludge and Muck Reducers?

Sludge and muck reducers use chemical processes to destroy the harmful compounds that are hurting your pond’s plant and fish life.

Typically, sludge and muck reducers contain beneficial bacteria and helpful enzymes that help process waste. They’re often best-suited to ponds and water gardens that feature uneven bottoms, where sludge and debris are difficult to remove, including those with rock or stone bottoms.

Dosing for Sludge and Muck Reducers

It’s always important to follow the dosing instructions based on your pond’s size. While it’s nearly impossible to overdose a pond with beneficial bacteria, you may inadvertently harm some plants or fish life by using the wrong doses of sludge and muck reducers.
