VirescoTM Aqua was introduced in
autumn 1997. This product was originally formulated for use on
commercial fish farms to improve the growth and health of the fish.
It was a bonus that it turned out to suppress algae as well! VirescoTM
Aqua contains 50% of a microbial mixture that removes nitrate and
reduces phosphate. These nutrients are the main food source for
algae. Once the nitrate drops to zero, the algae dies of starvation.
The nitrate level will remain at zero, usually for many weeks and,
for some, many months. The other 50% of the VirescoTM
Aqua mixture is an organic waste digester which will eliminate pond
detritus. |
VirescoTM
Koi
|
Most Koi keepers keep very clean ponds and do not
have a need for the organic waste digester part of
VirescoTM Aqua. Therefore,
in April 2000, we introduced
VirescoTM
Koi. This contains
100% of the nutrient remover. |
VirescoTM
Digester
|
In July 2001, we introduced VirescoTM
Digester which is the third member of the "family". It contains 100% of
the organic waste digester and none of the nutrient remover. |
VirescoTM
Microboost
|
Microboost is a coarse grade granular Humate based food source for pond
micro-organisms. It also contains some Viresco™ Aqua. It boosts
dramatically the numbers of micro-organisms in pond water and should be
used to speed up the nitrate reduction and/or waste digestion action of
the
Viresco™ products. |

VirescoTM
NitroGone |
Since Viresco™ Aqua was introduced in 1997, the emphasis has
been on algae removal in ponds and aquariums. This takes place
because certain microbes in the mixes convert nitrate to nitrogen, thus
removing the food source that is essential for algae growth. With
the introduction of the Viresco™ NitroGone tablets, the emphasis is
switched from algae control to nitrite and nitrate conversion.
The tablets, available in two sizes, should be used when
ammonia and nitrite levels in ponds are problematical. The 1g size
tablet would normally treat 500 gallons and is available in 5 tablet and
10 tablet pack sizes. A 2g tablet is available for larger water
volumes in two pack sizes, 5 tablets and 10 tablets. Increased doses
should be made if fish stocking levels are high or where there is a need
to reduce the nitrite or nitrate levels quickly.

ProBiotic |
Microbial Supplement To Add to Fish Food
Viresco™ Probiotic will improve the digestive process
of fish. The bacteria it contains suppress disease micro-organisms
in the gut that might otherwise become pathogenic.
Food is more efficiently digested, resulting in a
lower load on the bio-filter with a consequent improvement in water
quality.
Viresco™ Probiotic will help to boost the immune system of the fish,
which is particularly important with pond fish as they come out of the
cold spell at the end of winter. This is when their immune system
is at its lowest.
