MD Pellets by Aquafix® muck digesting pellets with biostimulants and bacteria

A potent blend of micronutrients for lake and pond treatment. VitaStim MD pellets have a slow release and sink down into the muck to deliver essential biostimulants, activated barley and bacteria. They penetrate and degrade your pond muck and sludge by stimulating existing bacteria and by adding sludge-eating cultures.

Format: 30 pound pail

Easy to apply. You can treat the entire pond or only in the areas that muck tends to accumulate.

Dosage Rates

• Traditional Dose: Feed 10-lb to 25-lb per surface-acre once per month depending on depth of muck or extent of surface debris.
• Super Dose: For ponds or lakes where they would like to degrade up to 1 foot per month. Feed 50 to 60 lbs per acre once per month.
• Temperature Range: Works best when water temperature is 60° F (17°C) to 130°F (54°C). The warmer it is the faster they reproduce and digest sludge.

Applications

Lakes: MD Pellets can be distributed into a lake by a fertilizer spreader attached to the back of the boat. MD Pellets are typically 1/10th to 1/20th of the cost of dredging.

Decorative Ponds: MD Pellets are a nice way to keep the pond in check and keep muck to a minimum.

Retention Ponds: Retention ponds start out nice and beautiful and after a few years they become loaded with floating organic matter and muck. MD Pellets are an easy way to help balance them out and reduce muck. These pellets will also work well in retention ponds that may have a lot of road salt. A biologically cleaned pond is a happy pond. A mechanically cleaned pond can often be unhappy for some time as it tries to find biological balance.

Golf Courses: Golf courses can get a lot of muck due to runoff, high nutrient loadings, and leaf and grass waste. MD Pellets are an easy and affordable way to keep golf course ponds free of muck and more importantly to help keep them biologically balanced.

Shorelines: Used by homeowners to reduce muck around the shoreline. Just sprinkle some pellets around a dock once a month and let them sink into the muck. Month by month the lake bottom will clean up. Many customers have called them little vacuum cleaners as they see the muck reduce.

Aquaculture: Used to degrade fish poop that accumulates in the bottom of a pond. MD Pellets have proven to be economical and efficient for fish farmers who want to minimize muck accumulation as an alternative to dredging.

• Reduces dredging

The pellets are a dense product designed to be “tossed in” and sink to the bottom. When they sink into the muck the bacteria produce enzymes that speed up the breakdown of organic waste. Some customers have expressed success breaking down sycamore leaf debris in their lakes and ponds using our MD Pellets. They contain safe and beneficial bacteria, and will not harm aquatic species, fish, waterfowl, or people. This product will also reduce sulfide and mercaptan odors found in muck.
