It is said the secret to Japanese healthy,
colorful Koi is the clay mud in which they are raised.
Microbe-Lift / CMC comes from one of the highest calcium clay
deposits in the world. Calcium based clay may actually help your
pond's water to produce some of the healthiest and deep colored
Koi you've ever raised ( or seen). The Koi's markings will become
brighter and more dominant.
Plastic pre-formed ponds, as well as vinyl, cement and rubber
ponds, do not have any nutrients on their bottom. In the wild,
carp actually use mud to get many of their micronutrients and
minerals. Microbe-Lift / CMC has a negative electric charge which
will bind the clay particles to positively charged toxins in the
water. The clay acts as a natural flocculent and the particles
that are bound up are filtered out of the pond. Microbe-Lift / CMC
is not only a nutrient source for Koi, it will also
"polish" your pond water. The clay can actually help
make pond water sparkling clean (polishing).
The temperature band for Koi is 62 deg. - 84 deg F. At 50 deg.
F it will take about a week for Koi to digest food. At 45 deg F.
it takes about a day, at 70 deg F. food will pass thru in 2 hours.
At 70 deg F. Koi will have twice the time to digest their food of
clay is added in sufficient quantities.
