Dissolve thoroughly in pond water before distributing evenly. Severe Cases: Dose may be doubled for aggressive infections. Net Contents: 50 g treats 1,000 gallons at standard strength. Maintain strong aeration during treatment. Remove activated carbon or any chemical filtration media. Hospital Tank Protocol (Recommended for Severe Cases) Set salinity to 5 ppt. Add the appropriate dose of Bacterial Blitz. Maintain for 48 hours. Perform a full 100 percent water change. Retreat immediately after the water change. Repeat this cycle three times over six days. Reevaluate condition after the final cycle. This method provides controlled, concentrated exposure and is ideal for advanced infections. Using Bacterial Blitz as Medicated Feed Bacterial Blitz is highly effective when used internally, especially for septicemia, popeye, dropsy, or infections that originate beneath the skin. Feeding Method (2 lbs of feed): Measure out 30 ml of water. Add 10 g of Bacterial Blitz to the water and mix. Add Garlic Boost to bind, coat, and improve acceptance. Pour both over feed in a bowl and mix for 2 minutes. Allow the feed to dry or absorb fully on a cookie sheet for 6 hours. Feed once or twice daily during treatment. Garlic Boost significantly improves uptake and is strongly recommended for feed-based treatment.Download Instructions HERE Safety and Handling For ornamental pond fish only.

Severe infections may require multiple treatments depending on symptoms and water quality. Can Bacterial Blitz be combined with salt? Yes. It is fully compatible with salt, and the 5 ppt hospital protocol is one of the most effective methods for advanced infections. Is Bacterial Blitz safe for koi and goldfish? Yes. When used correctly with proper aeration, it is safe for koi, goldfish, and most ornamental pond species. Will this harm plants or biofilters? Most biofilters tolerate treatment without issue. Sensitive plants may experience stress; remove delicate species if concerned. When should I use medicated feed instead of water treatment? Use medicated feed for internal infections such as septicemia, popeye, and dropsy. Feed-based dosing provides direct internal absorption, which is often essential for deep infections. What should I mix Bacterial Blitz with for medicated feed? Garlic Boost is recommended for binding, coating, and improving palatability. It ensures the medication adheres to the feed and is consumed effectively. How long until I see improvement? Many cases improve within 48 to 72 hours. Severe infections may require the full hospital tank protocol for noticeable progress. Can Bacterial Blitz be used preventively? No. It should only be used when active infection is present. Preventive measures should focus on water quality, parasite management, and stress reduction. Can I combine this with other treatments? Avoid combining with oxidizing agents or products that could chemically conflict. It is best used alone or with salt. Consult before pairing with other medications. Is a water change required after dosing? Not for routine pond use unless water parameters decline. A full water change is mandatory only during the 5 ppt hospital tank protocol.
