What is Aquascapes Beneficial Bacteria?
Beneficial bacteria are essential for the health of your pond or water garden. These microscopic organisms help to break down organic matter, recycle nutrients, and keep your water clean and clear.
There are many different types of beneficial bacteria that can be found in ponds and water gardens. Some of the most common include:
Anaerobic bacteria – These bacteria thrive in an oxygen-free environment. They are often responsible for breaking down organic matter and releasing valuable nutrients back into the water.
Aerobic bacteria – These bacteria need oxygen to survive. They are often responsible for filtering out pollutants and keeping your water clean and clear.
Nitrifying bacteria – These bacteria convert ammonia into nit, which are then converted into nitrites and nitrates. These nutrients are essential for the growth of plants and algae in your pond or water garden.
Denitrifying bacteria – These bacteria convert nitrates into nitrogen gas, which is then released into the atmosphere. This process helps to keep your water clean and clear and prevents algae blooms.
Beneficial bacteria are an important part of a healthy pond or water garden. Without them, your water would become polluted and murky, and your plants and fish would not be able to thrive. Adding beneficial bacteria to your pond or water garden will help to keep it clean and clear, and ensure that your plants and fish are healthy and happy.
