Kusuri Pro-100

Kusuri Pro-100Kusuri Pro-100

A preventive treatment is intended to prevent infection, and assist in natural therapeutic recovery from disease infection.

A number of very dangerous pathogenic strains of bacteria like Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, E. coli, , etc. can cause catastrophic fish losses in ponds. This has created a strong demand for an effective preventive treatment that does not involve antibiotics, disinfectants, or any other sort of chemical products.

Preventive treatment does not kill pathogens directly; it helps prevent and restrict their development. If pathogens get the opportunity to proliferate they can infect the least resistant fish. Good water quality reduces stress in fish and therefore reduces the risk of infection.

After extensive collaborative work with Kusuri Products, IET Aqua research have added this product to their production program. Bacta-Pur® Pro-100 is formulated to help reduce harmful water-borne bacteria. Bacta-Pur® Pro-100 contains the highest available concentration of natural beneficial bacteria. Every production batch is tested and guaranteed free of pathogens and dangerous chemicals.

This is a the highest concentrated formulation available (100 billion organisms per ml).

Pro-100 is used as a preventative. The multiplying colonies of beneficial bacteria out-compete harmful strains of pathogens, by consuming the nutrients that they require to survive and develop. Effectively, Bacta-Pur® Pro-100 reduces the numbers of pathogens by occupying their “living space” and replacing the harmful bacteria with beneficial ones.

Pro-100 can be used in any aquatic environment because it is totally harmless. It is recommended not to use UV or ozone equipment when starting the application for 1 week, and to add additional aeration to the pond.

Kusuri Sludgebuster

Kusuri SludgebusterKusuri Sludgebuster

Kusuri SLUDGEBUSTER contains selected bacteria to efficiently bio-degrade sludge in ponds, pipe work and filters. Regular use prevents accumulation of organic sediments.

Apart from being unsightly and sometimes clouding water, by removing waste the beneficial bacteria eliminate the causes of noxious odours and reduce the oxygen demand (B.O.D.), meaning more oxygen is available for the fish. Kusuri SLUDGEBUSTER is best applied weekly or at least once a month. Ideal for use in ponds with no bottom drain system.

Kusuri Sludgebuster is extremely efficient, and in tests can reduce sludge levels by up to 12 inches in only one week at 22 C.

Regular use prevents accumulation of organic solids so that drains, pumps and filters require minimal cleaning.

Coarse sediments, such as leaves, should be removed manually whenever possible by removing organic waste.

The beneficial micro-organisms in Kusuri Sludgebusters eliminate the causes for noxious odors and reduce oxygen demand in the water, so that more oxygen is made available to the fish.

Kusuri Sludgebuster Dosages:
  • 450 ml per 1000 gallons once a month, or as and when required.
Kusuri Sludgebuster Preactivator

Use Kusuri Sludgbuster preactivator (12 grams) to one litre of Sludgebusters. Add 12 litres of pond water, heat with an aquarium heater to 25 C. Add an air stone and leave for seven days in the dark. Allow to cool and add to your filters.

This brew will activate the Sludgebusters to make it very powerful and significantly more effective.


In addition to the above you cabn accelerate the growth of the Sludgebusting bacteria by addidng Kusuri Nutripak.

Bacta-Pur® Lithaqua Media

Bacta-Pur® Lithaqua Media

Bacta-Pur® LITHAQUA is a marine mineral with a high content of minerals, trace elements and carbonates.  It brings them into your pond and thereby adjusts the mineral balance and improves the water quality.  Use it as pond substrate for bacteria to grow on and for fish to play in, or use it as a filter medium. 

Modern multi-chamber filters contain mainly plastic media.  Those are excellent supports for bacteria but they do not add anything to water quality.  It is important to fill at least one filter chamber (preferably the last chamber) with Bacta-Pur® LITHAQUA.  It provides an enormous surface area for bacteria (10 to 20 times more than most plastic filter media) and provides the bacteria with essential nutrients. 

Bacta-Pur® LITHAQUA neutralises acid pH and helps to restore carbonate alkalinity.

Kusuri Nutripak

Kusuri NutripakKusuri Nutripak

Nutripak is a mineral and trace element supplement, specifically for the growth of beneficial nitrifying bacteria.

Essential elements are soon depleted in the water, as fish also compete for some of the same vitamins and minerals as the bacterial filter biomass.

Nutripak will accelerate the growth of beneficial nitrifying bacteria, allowing reduction of Ammonia and Nitrite at a faster rate.

Kusuri Nutripak supplies vital minerals for the bacterial growth of your filter biomass, accelerating growth and enhancing nitrifying properties.

Kusuri Nutripak also enhances the effect of other bacterial products such as:-

  • Kusuri Eco pure.
  • Kusuri Filter starter boost(pink).
  • Kusuri Pro 100.
  • Kusuri Filter starter booster.
  • Kusuri Sludgebuster.
  • Kusuri Klear.
