{"product_id":"active-bio-mix-20ltr-jerry-can","title":"ACTIVE BIO-MIX 20ltr (Jerry Can)","description":"\u003cp\u003eActive Mix Bio is a combination of substances including photosynthetic and lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and trace elements. This combination has a positive impact on the natural balance and biological life resulting in a perfect equilibrium. It also strongly promotes the biological conversion of ammonia and nitrites into nitrates.\u003cbr\u003e The fact that this mix is already in an activated state means it has a direct and rapid effect on your pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Photosynthetic bacteria:\u003cbr\u003e Produce substances that promote the growth of micro-organisms,\u003cbr\u003e especially heterotrophic bacteria. During conversion they produce valuable\u003cbr\u003e substances from organic waste and harmful matter in the water.\u003cbr\u003e Photosynthetic bacteria also compete with algae for nutrients and\u003cbr\u003e sunlight. In the case of algae, light is absorbed by chlorophyll, just like with\u003cbr\u003e regular plants. However, with photosynthetic bacteria, photosynthesis takes\u003cbr\u003e place directly in the cell. Consequently, this provides the additional benefit of\u003cbr\u003e reducing algae growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lactic acid bacteria:\u003cbr\u003e Suppresses pathogenic germs and other harmful micro-organisms and\u003cbr\u003e promote a rapid degradation of organic material (waste substances).\u003cbr\u003e Other additives in the Active Mix Bio (e.g. yeasts and trace elements) suppress\u003cbr\u003e harmful fungi and produce bioactive compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEffect of Active Mix Bio: Biological\u003cbr\u003e processes occur everywhere, breaking down waste products and turning them into\u003cbr\u003e useful substances. The degradation and composition can take place in different\u003cbr\u003e ways depending on circumstances. By adding Active Mix Bio, the useful bacteria\u003cbr\u003e receive a powerful boost at the expense of harmful micro-organisms. Active Bio Mix\u003cbr\u003e supports the nitrifying effects of the biological filter as well as the degradation of\u003cbr\u003e organic materials.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Air-Aqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56946164334940,"sku":"MD9297","price":134.73,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/4320\/9564\/files\/img_7179.png?v=1773004143","url":"https:\/\/www.southcoastkoiandaquatics.co.uk\/products\/active-bio-mix-20ltr-jerry-can","provider":"Southcoast Koi and Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
